      Agueda Chacon Churruca made a great fortune writing her horror books. Her readers adored her, although she hated them: “I write to make them suffer,” she would say. In fact, Agueda detested everyone, especially her family, whom she always labeled as sloppy, lazy, clingy, and having ugly hair. One tragic day, Agueda dies electrocuted in her massage chair and leaves her immense fortune to the relative who can manage to spend twelve nights in her collection of haunted houses. Ghosts, possessed dolls, enchanted castles, and endless frightening situations await the Chacon family.

      Three cousins. Two worlds. One secret.

      The legend goes that in the Baztán Valley, the gods coexisted in brotherhood, and the creatures of the day and night could live in harmony. But Gaueko, the terrible god of the night, started to torment the humans with his pack of wolves, and the goddess of the Earth, Mari, created the Moon and the Sun to protect them from the darkness. However, Gaueko’s thirst for power led him to concoct a plan to capture the Sun, and thus definitively establish his kingdom of shadows. Blinded with rage, Mari divided the world in two, and now nothing and no one can cross the line between them.

      Teo, Emma, and Ada don’t like each other at all, but they are cousins, and circumstances have led them to spend the summer together in their grandmother’s small village in Navarre. When one of them disappears and the others go searching, they discover a universe of wizards and gods, of irascible giants and beautiful women with raptor claws, in which the terrible god Gaueko has imposed darkness. A world in which they can only save themselves from the shadows if they stay united and discover their own magic.

      I'm no good at sports...
      I can't do math...
      I really struggle with exams...
      Sound familiar? If you believe you can't do something, the chances are you won't try. But what if you really could get better at math, or sports, or exams? In fact, what if you could excel at anything you put your mind to? You Are Awesome can help you do just that, inspiring and empowering young readers to find the confidence to realize their potential. It uses examples of successful people from Mozart to David Beckham to demonstrate that success really is earned rather than given, and that talent can be acquired. With hard work and determination, practice and self-belief, there's no reason why anyone can't achieve anything.
