    From award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Ibi Zoboi comes her groundbreaking contemporary fantasy debut--a novel in verse based on Caribbean folklore--about the power of inherited magic and the price we must pay to live the life we yearn for.Fifteen-year-old Marisol is the daughter of a soucouyant. Every new moon, she sheds her skin like the many women before her, shifting into a fireball witch who must fly into the night and slowly sip from the lives of others to sustain her own. But Brooklyn is no place for fireball witches with all its bright lights, shut windows, and bolt-locked doors.... While Marisol hoped they would leave their old traditions behind when they emigrated from the islands, she knows this will never happen while she remains ensnared by the one person who keeps her chained to her magical past--her mother.Seventeen-year-old Genevieve is the daughter of a college professor and a newly minted older half sister of twins. Her worsening skin condition and the babies' constant wailing keep her up at night, when she stares at the dark sky with a deep longing to inhale it all. She hopes to quench the hunger that gnaws at her, one that seems to reach for some memory of her estranged mother. When a new nanny arrives to help with the twins, a family secret connecting her to Marisol is revealed, and Gen begins to find answers to questions she hasn't even thought to ask.But the girls soon discover that the very skin keeping their flames locked beneath the surface may be more explosive to the relationships around them than any ancient magic.

    My grandfather, Jampel Gyasto, is a professor of Tibetan literature at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. For many years, he has focused his research on the Tibetan Epic of King Gesar. Growing up in the United States, I was fascinated by my grandfather's books on Gesar and Thangka (a typical Tibetan painting) with Gesar's image hanging on the wall. When my grandfather visited me from China, he excited me with stories about the Lion King Gesar.Ever since I was a young girl, the epic of Gesar, a superhuman warrior king of the Kingdom of Ling who waged war with the demons, has ignited my creativity and imagination. The Epic of Gesar is a long epic with over one million lines of verse. It is longer than the world's five other great ancient epics put together, including ancient Greek poet Homer's "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," old India's "The Mahabharata" and "The Ramayana" and ancient Mesopotamia's Gilgamesh. Compared with the Homeric epics-the Iliad and the Odyssey, probably dating from the 8th century BCE, Gesar is the world's longest epic poem still performed today.In high school, I took Latin classes and learned about literature created in Latin, such as the Aeneid Latin epic poem written from about 30 to 19 BCE by the Roman poet Virgil. I was also fascinated by reading Joseph Campbell's book The Hero with a Thousand Faces. I see many similarities in "King Gesar" stories versus "Homer's Epic." Each is an Encyclopedia-like masterpiece reflecting ancient Tibetan and Greek people's lifestyles, costumes, religious beliefs, customs, and habits. Although the Gesar epic reflects the beliefs in Buddhist culture, such as reincarnation, we still see many similarities with the Western epic and ideas, such as how the Godfather tells Gesar his duties through a dream, how Gesar fights with four demon kings and defeats the evil Uncle Chaotong, and the most exciting part about horse racing, which was historically common. Gesar was developed in the ancient Himalayan region, far from Hollywood. Still, the stories about Gesar can be found in Hollywood epic movies like Avatar, Lion King, Helmet, Troy, or even Mulan. Joseph Campbell's theory remains powerful and salient: "A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered, and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man." - Joseph Campbell.The original language for the King Gesar epic was written in Tibetan. Historically, the original method for the younger generation to know the King Gesar epic is through the oral traditions of Ballads. To put these oral traditions into written documents, my grandpa was the one who traveled all over the Tibet Qinghai plateau and neighboring countries around the Himalayas to collect stories of Gesar. In 1986, he published his first research book, "A Preliminary Study of Gesar" in Chinese. It was the starting point for non-Tibetan speakers to learn about Gesar. Later, he published "The Legend of Gesar King" in China; the book has been translated into Korean and English. After several years, he presided over the compilation of the "Gesar Dictionary."My grandpa told me that "The Epic of King Gesar" was created not by one person but by generations. The bards passed it down. As the longest epic in the world, the King Gesar epic has different versions and understandings, but one thing is sure: he is the hero created and praised by the people of snow and mountains who loved peace and believed in the hero. They are my Tibetan ancestors. In this book, I summarize the main story and introduce this tremendous Tibetan epic in English. My grandpa and I want to let more people in the West know about this immense Tibetan heroic epic, King Gesar.

    Le chiavi del riscatto è un libro, quasi un romanzo che racconta una storia di fantasia ma neanche tanto. Una maestra delle scuole elementari porta in gita i suoi alunni in montagna e dà loro il compito di scrivere un tema per appuntare le sensazioni e le emozioni, i pensieri che i ragazzi hanno provato. In quel giorno uno di loro, il più irrequieto, si fa del male ma riesce lo stesso a tornare a casa con la classe. A volte alcuni ragazzi si comportavano un po' da matti, facevano le cose che a quell'età tutti fanno di nascosto. La gioventù è così, bella ma con tanti affanni per chi deve gestirla e portarla alla vita adulta. Martino, uno degli insegnanti, pur rammaricato per l'incidente non gli diede peso, aveva già i suoi problemi, era divorziato dalla moglie perché non andavano più d'accordo; con un figlio da crescere, avuto con una donna che faceva il mestiere di andare con altri uomini. Dopo varie vicissitudini, tra alti e bassi, Martino incontra una vicina di casa e si innamora, nasce un sentimento profondo tra i due. Pittore e insegnante di disegno si dedica alla pittura e espone le sue opere; una in particolare rappresentava suo figlio mentre nuotava con i delfini, un'altra era il ritratto della sua amata cara vicina Giovanna.Il libro finisce con lo sconforto dell'insegnante, che da maestro appassionato sente di non farcela più a tenere i bambini in classe. Spera di non di non andare su di giri, di mantenere il controllo e di ritrovarsi ancora vivo, il giorno dopo di un mattino che era stato all'inferno

The YA genre
The young adult genre is one of the fastest growing literary genres. The genre is often referred to as ‘YA’ and speaks to the younger readers between the ages 12-18. One of the reasons for its popularity is the way the young adult novels deal with coming-of-age themes and problems that the young readers can relate to. The actions are set in fictional worlds and by using this mechanism the problems are introduced with a suitable distance for the reader. In that way it is easier for the reader to read about the problems and deal with them throughout the story. 
The enchanting worlds also fascinate the youngsters and give them a break from their everyday life and it’s problems, while the young adult books at the same time deal with them through these worlds. In that way the reader is met at eye level, and there are no adults speaking down to the youngsters. Then it is also easier for the young reader to deal with the challenges of the everyday life themselves. The books come in different forms, most often as young adult fiction books or young adult romance books.
   
Popular young adult characters
Some of the most famous book characters are found in the young adult genre. Here we find Bella Swan, the girl who falls in love with a mysterious and handsome vampire, Edward, in a little, rainy town where strange things happen. Here we also see the genre features of YA. Bella is an ordinary girl who falls in love for the first time and discovers her own sexuality. A very important step in any young adult’s life. At the same time she lives in a world with vampires and werewolves and magical wars. The fictional elements in the plot also helps her find her inner strength and develop her as a person.   
The Twilight universe as a young adult book series has fascinated both youngsters and adults around the world, where fans discussed which man Bella should pick. Should it be the shy and mysterious vampire or the attractive werewolf? The whole Twilight series is also adapted for the screen making the young adult novels even more popular.  
Another popular character from another young adult book series is the famous young wizard Harry Potter. In the Harry Potter series we also have a main character, who doesn’t fit in, but instead discovers he belongs in a magical world. Again the fictional elements help the young adult character to discover his true self and again we see the coming of age plot. Although a lot of the story takes place in a magical world with fictional problems, the story is also about friendship. No matter which opponent Harry, Ron and Hermione are up against, they always fight together and find strength in each other. 

The classics written for young adults
You also find classical novels written for young adults in our selection. A classical novel never loses it’s magic. It makes you reflect and everyone can get something out of reading a classic, because they deal with universal problems. The story could have been written 200 years ago and still be as relevant as the day it was published, but the language could be quite a challenge to read, especially as a young adult. Therefore the beloved stories have been adapted to young adult formats, so that the young readers can get as much out of the story as all the enthusiastic previous readers.
Among the classics is the beloved Pride and Prejudices, made as one of the young adult romance books, by the timeless author Jane Austen. In the story we meet the young girl Elizabeth, who just likes Bella Swan and Harry Potter, are different, because she doesn't live up to that times’ ideal of a woman. At the same time she falls in love for the first time, but she is having troubles figuring out the truth and which man she should trust with her heart. Instead of using a fictional universe to deal with the everyday problems, the story uses humor. Furthermore, although the story was realistic at the time, the times have changed and the historical time period almost becomes its own fictional universe, where the young readers can learn about the lifestyles of that time and especially the ideals of women. Another classic made for young adults that deals with some of the same themes is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brönte. Again we have a strong female lead character, who falls in love for the first time and discovers a whole new world - the world of adults. 

No matter which tales you love, you find all the young adult books to read right here.
