Las Gemas Mágicas / The Magic Gems - (Lily Medialuna) by Xavier Bonet (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Lily Medialuna has just arrived in the city of Piedravalle: a new house, a new school, and new powers? Hand in hand with her new friends, Lily discovers that she is a witch! And, like them, she will have to go to the Library to learn how to use her powers, find her power stone and meet her guardian animal. Together they will try to protect the citizens of Piedravalle from the evil enchantments and dangerous creatures that stalk them. But they will have to do it without being discovered, because it is very important that no one finds out that they know how to do magic. You know; witches have never been much favored! "Witches, warlocks, enchanters, sorceresses, by the magic bestowed on you, now keep this promise: you will never reveal the knowledge of the Library to those who cannot use magic, and you will keep the secret of your powers forever."--

Book Synopsis

Adéntrate en un nuevo mundo de brujas y magia con Lily Medialuna, la nueva serie de cómic infantil ilustrada por Xavi Bonet, uno de los ilustradores del cómic de la aclamada serie de Netflix Los últimos frikis del mundo.

¡Acompaña a Lily, vive increíbles aventuras y descubre cuáles son sus poderes mágicos!

Lily Medialuna acaba de llegar a la ciudad de Piedravalle: casa nueva, colegio nuevo y ¿poderes nuevos? De la mano de sus nuevas amigas, Lily descubre que es ¡una bruja! Y, como ellas, tendrá que acudir a la Biblioteca para aprender a usar sus poderes, encontrar su piedra de poder y conocer a su animal guardián. Juntas intentarán proteger a los ciudadanos de Piedravalle de los malvados encantamientos y peligrosas criaturas que los acechan. Pero tendrán que hacerlo sin ser descubiertas, porque es muy importante que nadie se entere de que saben hacer magia. Ya sabéis; ¡las brujas nunca han estado demasiado bien vistas!

«Brujas, brujos, encantadores, hechiceras, por la magia que os ha sido concedida, cumplid ahora esta promesa: nunca rebelaréis los conocimientos de la Biblioteca a aquellos que no puedan usar la magia y guardaréis el secreto de vuestros poderes para siempre».
