[close] Lettori sui generis è l'evoluzione dello storico YA e dintorni: gli anni e le letture hanno allargato i nostri orizzonti, andando ad aggiungere alla letteratura per ragazzi letteratura di ogni genere (letteralmente ;)). Esploriamo il mainstream e lo storico, ogni declinazione del giallo e del fantasy, della fantascienza e della distopia, con un occhio di riguardo ai classici. Romanzi, novelle, antologie, graphic novel: la forma, come il genere, non rappresenta un limite, ma un'ulteriore invito alla lettura. Ci guidano curiosità e passione per la parola: chiunque arrivi da noi per la strada delle storie è il benvenuto. :)
