Gail Villanueva

    Gail D. Villanueva je filipínska autorka, ktorej diela sa často ponárajú do zložitých emócií a medziľudských vzťahov. S neomylným okom pre detail a hlbokým porozumením ľudskej psychiky dokáže vytvárať postavy, ktoré sú rovnako chybné ako hrdinské. Jej písanie je známe svojou úprimnosťou a schopnosťou zachytiť podstatu ľudskej skúsenosti s empatiou a introspekciou. Villanueva prostredníctvom svojich príbehov skúma témy identity, straty a hľadania spolupatričnosti, čím pozýva čitateľov k zamysleniu sa nad ich vlastnými životmi.

    • Can a bully be defeated by a magical love potion? Jolena can't take Claudine's bullying any longer! The taunts and teasing are too much. Though Jolena knows she's still in-training to use her grandfather's arbularyo magic, she sneaks into his potions lab to get her revenge. Jolena brews a batch of gayuma, a powerful love potion. And it works. The love potion conquers Claudine's hateful nature. In fact, Claudine doesn't just stop bullying Jolena -- now she wants to be Jolena's BFF, and does everything and anything Jolena asks. But magic comes with a cost, and bad intentions beget bad returns. Controlling another person's ability to love -- or hate -- will certainly have consequences. The magic demands payment, and it is about to come for Jolena in the form of a powerful storm... Magic and reality mingle in this brilliant new middle-grade novel by Gail D. Villanueva that asks whether it's ever okay to take away someone's free will.
