A sweet, funny contemporary teen romance for the inner geek in all of us from fan-favorite graphic novelist Faith Erin Hicks. Miriam's family should be rich. Her grandfather was the co-creator of smash-hit comics series The TomorrowMen. But he sold his rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing, and now that's what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to either-how can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof above their heads? As if she didn't have enough to worry about, Miriam's life gets much more complicated when a cute boy shows up in town and turns out to be the grandson of the man who defrauded Miriam's grandfather, and heir to the TomorrowMen fortune. This is a sensitive and funny Romeo-and-Juliet tale about modern romance, geek royalty, and what it takes to heal the long-festering scars of the past (spoiler alert: love).

How did Fox Mulder become a believer? How did Dana Scully become a skeptic? The X-Files Origins has the answers. In the spring of 1979, fifteen-year-old Dana Scully has bigger problems than being the new girl in school. Dana has always had dreams. Sometimes they've even come true. Ever since her father's military career moved the family across the country to Craiger, Maryland, the dreams have been more like visions, haunted by a shadowy figure who may be an angel . . . or the devil. When a classmate who recently died in a car accident appears before Dana, her wounds look anything but accidental. Then Dana uncovers even more suspicious deaths - and must face the dangerous knowledge that evil is real. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
