"Summer is a perfectly ordinary 11 year old girl with a perfectly ordinary, needy, over-protective single mother. She always does what she is told and has become very good at listening and consoling her mother's fears, but finds the experience increasingly exhausting. Summer loves her mother and would never dream of running away, but wonders deep down if it wouldn't be nice to escape for just a little while and do something adventurous... maybe? Along comes the crone Baba Yaga in her magical walking house, who spies Summer through the alley gate and offers to provide her heart's desire. Summer has no idea what this might be, but with the lighting of a frog-shaped beeswax candle she finds herself transported to the strange world of Orcus with nothing but a weasel in her pocket. Like any girl of her age, she's read lots of fantasy books about people thrust into strange lands; but they usually seemed to have had some idea what they were supposed to do there. Join Summer as she attempts to follow glimpses of turquoise across Orcus with the help of a weasel, a wolf with a house problem, and an aristocratic hoopoe with a penchant for trouble. Along the way she just might figure out what she is looking for, save a wondrous thing, and realize that some of the talents which she takes for granted are mighty useful indeed."

Nine Goblins

"From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a novella of low fantasy and high mischief. No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure. But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece, despite a path filled with elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures…a human being."

[Italian] - Nettle and Bone - Come uccidere un principe

"Marra è la più giovane fra le tre figlie del sovrano del Regno del Porto. Insieme alle sorelle, Damia e Kania, ha il dovere di salvaguardare la pace nel proprio paese, stretto nella morsa dei nemici che premono ai confini. Per scongiurare ogni rischio di scontro e assicurarsi l'alleanza del Regno del Nord, Damia viene data in moglie al principe Vorling. Poco tempo dopo, però, il corpo esanime della principessa viene riportato a casa. Dicono sia morta in seguito a una caduta, che sia stato un incidente, ma Marra non può crederci. Così, quando Vorling sceglie Kania come sua nuova sposa, Marra, pervasa da un senso di terrore, decide che questa volta non resterà ferma a guardare. Ucciderà il principe. Si mette quindi in cerca della magia più potente che conosca: quella di una Vocedombra, una strega in grado di comunicare con l'aldilà. Per raggiungerla, Marra dovrà attraversare la temibile Terra Riarsa, una distesa di chilometri avvolta nelle tenebre e devastata dalla siccità, e, per ottenere il suo aiuto, dovrà portare a termine tre compiti apparentemente impossibili: cucire un mantello di ortiche, resuscitare un cane da un mucchio d'ossa e catturare un raggio di luna. Ma, a guardarla meglio, la Vocedombra non sembra che una vecchina con uno strambo senso dell'umorismo, che si rifiuta peraltro di partire senza la sua gallina, una bestiola piuttosto invadente che dicono sia anche posseduta da un demone. Canedossa è un amico fidato, ma fa spavento a chiunque lo incontri. E Marra è solo una principessa che si sta improvvisando eroina. Riuscirà questa banda sgangherata a portare a termine la missione? T. Kingfisher rende omaggio agli elementi tradizionali del fantasy e della fiaba, e, allo stesso tempo, li sovverte, rileggendoli in chiave dark e ironica. Una storia originale, tenera e avventurosa che ci ricorda che gli eroi possono assumere diverse forme, che le streghe non sono sempre del tutto cattive, e che ognuno ha il diritto di scegliere il proprio lieto fine. contributori LE Emanuela Cardani"
