Abstract: Leo ha quindici anni e ha passato gran parte della sua vita a nascondere i suoi poteri. Nel suo mondo, infatti, la magia è riservata alle ragazze, che ne sono le custodi. I ragazzi, invece, sono relegati al ruolo di ranger preposti a combattere le Creature del Caos, esseri minacciosi e letali per la sopravvivenza di tutti. Per questo, all'Accademia di Asterfield, dove studia per diventare ranger, nessuno, ma proprio nessuno deve venire a conoscenza delle capacità di Leo, il quale si sente profondamente diviso tra chi dovrebbe essere e chi in realtà è davvero. Quando per caso trova il diario di un misterioso studente di tredici anni prima, che si firma il Custode e racconta dei suoi poteri magici, Leo ha l'impressione di aver trovato un amico, uno spirito affine, qualcuno con cui può sentirsi finalmente libero. Ma la libertà, si sa, talvolta ha un prezzo. Leo sarà disposto a pagarlo, anche a costo di grandi sacrifici? Il custode è il romanzo d'esordio di Francesca Tamburini, giovanissima creator dallo stile comunicativo originale, che ci consegna un fantasy luminoso e profondamente ottimista. La storia di Leo e dei suoi amici, infatti, affronta con grande leggerezza e delicatezza temi importanti quali l'identità di genere, la scoperta di sé e le difficoltà del diventare adulti.

Abstract: Érase una vez el sultán de un lejano país oriental a quien le quedaban dos deseos por pedir a un genio. Animado por su hija Amina y la melancolía de la solitaria vida de palacio, el monarca decide convocar al mago para pedirle algo tan sencillo como un contrincante al shatranj, antiguo juego de mesa parecido al ajedrez. Ambos quedan asombrados cuando, en lugar del genio, aparece Ayu, su hija, que se ofrece para cumplir el deseo. Eso sí, la pequeña genia es muy joven aún y no parece controlar mucho ni de shatranj, ni de magia… Las dos niñas y su amigo Ahmed tendrán que viajar muy lejos para recuperar las meteduras de pata de Ayu, inexperta aprendiz de genia. Álvaro Ortiz despliega todo su desparpajo y talento de narrador al servicio de los más jóvenes con una aventura moderna en un contexto de mitología clásica. Unos diálogos ágiles, un humor omnipresente y un dibujo dinámico y colorido conforman la historia ideada por el autor aragonés, que transporta al lector a desiertos y palacios orientales para acompañar a Ayu en lo que, esperemos, sea solo la primera de sus aventuras.
