Una fantástica aventura mágica llena de humor y sustos. Un erizo
dormilón y una pequeña bocazas están a punto de salvar el mundo...
Los padres de Emily han desaparecido en un mundo secreto llamado «la
Hora de la Medianoche», donde viven los monstruos y el tiempo está
suspendido. Para encontrarlos, Emily deberá hacer dos cosas: escapar de
las criaturas terroríficas que le pisan los talones y encontrar la
respuesta a dos preguntas muy importantes: ¿Cuál es el secreto mágico
que liga su destino al mundo de la Hora de la Medianoche? Y... ¿podrá
salvar a humanos y monstruos de un peligro mortal antes de que se le
acaben los bocadillos?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
For fans of portal fantasies like Jessica Townsend's Nevermoor, Colin
Meloy's Wildwood, and The Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and
Holly Black, and unlike so many other fantasies that introduce readers
to a world of enchantment and wonder, The Midnight Hour is one filled
with beasts and monsters for readers looking to shine their flashlights
under the covers.
When strange late-night letters start arriving at home, Emily's parents
set off to investigate. But when her parents disappear completely and
Emily is left home alone to face the weird strangers that begin to
appear at her door, she takes all of the clues at her disposal and makes
for the place where the letters came from -- the mysterious Night Post.
What she'll discover is the secret world of the Midnight Hour -- a
Victorian London frozen in time, full of magic and monsters.
Kept safe by an age-old agreement, the Night Folk have been exiled to a
parallel world that can only be accessed by a selected few, including
the mail carriers of the infamous Night Post that operate between the
two worlds. Emily's parents are key players in keeping the Night Folk
safe, but when the division of the two worlds is threatened, Emily must
search for her parents while navigating this dark and unknown version of
London.
Armed only with a packed lunch, her very sleepy pocket hedgehog, and her
infamously big argumentative mouth, she must escape bloodthirsty
creatures of the night, figure out her own family secrets, and maybe
just save the world. This is a frightening and enchanting story, a world
built out of creatures from our worst fears who become relatable, fully
formed characters unlike any we've seen as these strangers of parallel
worlds band together to save the day.
