C. Cervantes is about to take you on a trip you will never forget, through the darkest, strangest, and funniest twists and turns of Maya myth. You will meet the scariest gods you can imagine, the creepiest denizens of the Underworld, and the most amazing and unlikely heroes who have to save our world from being ripped apart."--Rick Riordan<BR><BR>Zane Obispo has been looking forward to his training at the Shaman Institute for Higher Order Magic, and not only because it means he'll be reunited with his best friend, Brooks. Anything would be better than how he has spent the last three months: searching for the remaining godborns with a nasty demon who can sniff them out (literally). But when Zane tracks down the last kid on his list, he's in for a surprise: the "one" is actually a pair of twins, and they're trying to prevent a mysterious object from falling into the wrong hands.<BR><BR>After a shocking betrayal, Zane finds himself at SHIHOM sooner than expected. Even more shocking is the news that the Maya gods have gone missing. The bat god, Camazotz, and Ixkik' (aka Blood Moon) have taken them out of commission . . . and the godborns are their next target. The only thing the villains need now? The object that the twins possess.<BR><BR>Zane knows the godborns aren't strong enough yet to stand up to Zotz, Ixkik', and their army. There might be a way to save the gods, but it involves locating a magical calendar that can see across time and space . . . not to mention traveling more than thirty years into the past. <BR><BR>In The Shadow Crosser, Zane and his friends embark on their most treacherous mission yet--a mission that, with one blunder, could change history as we know it, and worse, destroy the universe.<BR><BR><BR>Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+.<BR><BR>Complete your middle grade fantasy collection with these best-selling fan favorites:- The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan- Rick Riordan Presents Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi- Rick Riordan Presents Race to the Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse- Rick Riordan Presents Paola Santiago and the River of Tears by Tehlor Kay Mejia<BR>

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents J. C. Cervantes's exciting new spin-off from the best-selling STORM RUNNER trilogy.<BR><BR>"This duology opener is accessible to readers who are new to this world. An engrossing, god-filled delight."--Kirkus Reviews<BR><BR>Fourteen-year-old Renata Santiago is the most powerful godborn of them all, a bruja with a unique combination of DNA. The Mexica blood from her dad's side gives her the ability to manipulate shadows. Her mom Pacific, a Maya goddess, gifted her a magical rope that controls time, and Ren recently used it to save a few gods from getting stuck forever in 1987. She brought them back to the present, but her BFF Ah Puch, the once fearsome god of death, darkness, and destruction, is now a teenager with no divine powers.<BR><BR>Ren is also a girl with ordinary hopes and dreams. She wishes, for example, that her blog about alien sightings would garner more respect. She's always been absolutely convinced that there's a connection between aliens and the Maya civilization. Plenty of online haters feel differently, and they call her a fake, a liar, and a loser.<BR><BR>When Ren receives an email about an alien sighting in Kansas, she thinks it may support her theory. She also suspects that the cinco--five renegade godborns--are up to no good. Soon she finds herself embroiled in a quest to prevent the troublemakers from awakening the nine Aztec Lords of Night. Problem is, none of Ren's friends are available to help her hunt down the cinco and the dangerous gods they are resurrecting. Ren has no choice but to team up with two strangers recruited by Ah Puch: Edison, a teen hybrid demon, and Montero, an eleven-year-old Aztec hunter. Succeeding in this quest will prove that Ren is no fake, liar, or loser. But it isn't just another challenge. It could well be an impossible one that leaves Ren questioning her very existence.<BR><BR>Anyone who enjoys fast-paced myth-based adventures will be swept up in this one featuring Maya and Mexica gods and their magical offspring.<BR><BR>Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+.<BR><BR>Can't get enough of Mesoamerican mythology?

Amici del cuore e anime gemelle fin da bambini, Hart e Ruby stanno per affrontare insieme l'ultimo anno di liceo, quando Hart perde tragicamente la vita. Devastata dal dolore, Ruby non trova pace senza il suo grande amore. Ma anche Hart non riesce a staccarsi completamente da lei... e grazie a un intervento divino, gli viene offerta una seconda possibilità. Si trova così intrappolato nel corpo di Jameson, un ragazzo poco raccomandabile da cui Ruby si è sempre tenuta alla larga. Con queste sembianze, Hart si rende subito conto che riconquistare Ruby sarà più difficile del previsto. Innanzitutto, non può rivelare a nessuno, e tantomeno a lei, la verità. E come se non bastasse, ogni giorno che passa, i ricordi si fanno via via più sbiaditi. Dal canto suo, sebbene senta ancora la mancanza di Hart, Ruby non può negare di essere attratta da Jameson. Non sa spiegarsi questo improvviso interesse, ma non può ignorarlo. Forse è perché Jameson le ricorda così tanto il ragazzo di cui è stata innamorata? Nel tentativo di capire se quel che prova è autentico, Ruby deciderà di aprire il suo cuore a Jameson o resterà legata al passato?.
