New Releases by Tonya Hurley

Si te gustó Ghostgirl, no te pierdas El regreso, la segunda entrega de la saga protagonizada por Charlotte Usher. Dicen que la comedia es una tragedia que le sucede a otro. Pero que en el Más Allá uno todavía tenga que hacer prácticas... a Charlotte no le hace ninguna gracia. Y menos si consisten en coger el teléfono en un centro de ayuda para adolescentes problemáticos. Hasta que un día recibe la llamada de su amiga Scarlet: una pedicura terriblemente torpe ha dejado a Petula, su hermana pija, en coma. Y además, Damen, el novio de Scarlet, parece que vuelve a sentir algo por Petula, aunque ésta esté inconsciente... Tal vez Charlotte sea la única persona que pueda solucionarlo... aun a riesgo de precipitar un fatídico final para todos.

Before she can rest in peace, Charlotte Usher must return to the tragic site of her death: high school. Once there, her assignment is to help a designated teen solve a personal problem in time for the all-important prom. But no one explained what happens if you fall in love with your class project. Charlotte would die (again) for love but facing the all-too-familiar feeling of invisibility may be too much for her to swallow.

After dying, high school senior Charlotte Usher is as invisible to nearly everyone as she always felt, but despite what she learns in a sort of alternative high school for dead teens, she clings to life while seeking a way to go to the Fall Ball with the boy of her dreams.

¿Alguna vez te has sentido invisible? En el mundo yo era sólo una persona más, pero anhelaba ser el mundo para una persona. Cuando la popularidad es cuestión de vida o muerte. Charlotte Usher se siente prácticamente invisible hasta que un día lo es de verdad. Peor aún: está muerta. Y todo por culpa de un osito de goma. Pero la muerte no impide que Charlotte siga con su plan. Todo lo contrario, se vuelve mucho más creativa y hará cualquier cosa por conseguir su objetivo: ser popular para seducir al chico que ama.

Charlotte Usher discovers that the afterlife isn''t quite what she pictured when she''s forced to intern at a hotline for troubled teens. Before she can officially cross over, she''ll have to be a source of guidance for one such teen. The problem is she doesn''t have much advice to offer since dying hasn''t exactly boosted her confidence level. But when Hawthorne High''s leading, love-to-hate cheerleader Petula and her gothic little sis'' Scarlet find themselves suddenly resting-in-peace in comas, Charlotte''s opportunity to save them will prove to be the risk of a lifetime-for all of them.

Antes de poder descansar en paz, Charlotte Usher tiene que volver al trágico escenario de su muerte: el instituto. Todavía le queda una última misión que cumplir, pero nadie le ha explicado qué ocurre si te enamoras de tu proyecto de clase. Charlotte moriría -otra vez- por amor. Pero si su billete para la Otra Vida implica enfrentarse al demasiado familiar y horrible sufrimiento de ser invisible, quizás esto vaya más allá de lo que ella pueda soportar.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And if I should die before I awake, I pray the popular attend my wake. Charlotte Usher feels practically invisible at school, and then one day she really is invisible. Even worse: she''s dead. And all because she choked on a gummy bear. But being dead doesn''t stop Charlotte from wanting to be popular; it just makes her more creative about achieving her goal. If you thought high school was a matter of life or death, wait till you see just how true that is. In this satirical, yet heartfelt novel, Hurley explores the invisibility we all feel at some times and the lengths we''ll go to be seen. Praise for ghostgirl: * Polished dark-and-deadpan humor, it''s a natural fit with Gen Y, too." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) * "[Tonya] beats out witty teen-speak like a punk-band drummer, keeping the narrative fast-paced and fun yet thought-provokingly heartwarming. Goofy, ghastly, intelligent, electrifying." --Kirkus (starred review) *"Tim Burton and Edgar Allan Poe devotees will die for this fantastic, phantasmal read." --School Library Journal (starred review) * "Readers with a taste for black humor and satire will feast on Hurley''s crisp, wise dialogue. Anticipate a well deserved cult following." --VOYA (starred review) "Written with deadpan wit...this is a ''Wonderful Life''-like tale." -New York Post "A sincere (and humorous) exploration of how we all feel invisible at one time or another...perfect read." -CosmoGirl
