Twelve-year-old Marvel is afraid of absolutely everything - amusement-park rides, food poisoning, earthquakes, and that big island of plastic floating through the ocean. She also obsesses about smaller worries like making friends, getting called on by the teacher, and walking home alone. But when Marvel stumbles on a group of older kids teasing a baby goat that has mysteriously shown up on the soccer field, she momentarily forgets to be afraid and rescues the frightened animal.

En 1923, Helena Lennox tiene 17 años y un único deseo: sustituir las calles de Londres por una vida de aventuras y excavaciones en tierras lejanas. En consecuencia, cuando sus padres se marchan a la India para investigar la desaparición de unos arqueólogos, ella decide acompañarlos…unos días después y a escondidas. Son muchas las leyendas que circulan en torno a la ciudad fantasma de Bhangarh, pero Helena nunca ha creído en las supersticiones. No obstante, el príncipe Arshad de Jaipur (sí, ese que odia a los ingleses) le insiste en que se equivoca: Bhangarh está maldita.

I don't want to deal with these children. I didn't exercise yesterday." We don't realize it, but that's setting the tone for a lousy day. If you don't intentionally set the tone for the day, negative thoughts will set it for you.

Is it right that, despite the promises of feminism, women's bodies remain at the mercy of state, society, and religion? Are being sexy and being smart really mutually exclusive?

In Naked Feminism, Bateman makes a compelling case for women's bodily freedom, and explains why the current puritanical revival is so dangerous for women.
