Lorsque'Amara Verdana revient en Californie après cinq ans d'absence, elle n'est plus la jeune fille éprise de musique et de poésie que connaissaient ses parents. Sa fougue naturelle l'a menée à apprendre le maniement des armes, et les nouvelles venues de Los Angeles la forcent à rentrer à la maison pour combattre aux côtés de Zorro, le célèbre justicier masqué. Alors qu'elle prépare son masque, Amara est cependant tout autant confrontée aux injustices qui règnent qu'aux histoires de coeur... pas facile, d'être une justicière masquée, surtout quand on est tellement incertaine de ses sentiments!

Parce qu'on est tous différents, nos personnages devraient l'être également. Personnages principaux comme secondaires, la plupart de nos héros se ressemblent. Avez-vous déjà lu une histoire dont le personnage principal porte un hijab ? Est handicapé moteur ou mental ? A plus de 30 ans ? Sans que cela ne soit la thématique principale de l'ouvrage ? Peut-être (et tant mieux !) mais cela reste une exception parmi les lecteurs. Ce livre est un recueil d'article qui - je l'espère - vous inciterons et vous aiderons à diversifier vos personnages principaux et secondaires. #BringDiversityFrance

{𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟱} There are some stories that are told, but some others are just meant to be buried away. We have all heard the heroic story of Regulus Black; a Pureblood wizard who joined the Dark Lord at a young age, only to see the darkness within. So he finds one of his Horcruxes and sacrifices himself in hopes of destroying it. Or at least, this is just a small part of a story which we've never been told before; a tale that other than Regulus, only a girl named Alexandra Starling could've known.

Olive Lark was the most introverted and shy person you'd meet at Hogwarts. With a rather heavy addiction to writing and a small ring of friends, you would never find her doing something wild and crazy for attention. Ironically, she had one of the most unique abilities that would attract attention even if she didn't want to. Ollie had the ability to willingly, and sometimes unwillingly, alter her appearance, also called a metamorphmagus. Fred and George Weasley, the best and only outgoing pranksters at Hogwarts find themselves at the mercy of their own pranks when a mysterious black cat often messed up their tricks and turned them against the twins. Ollie would never had guessed she'd be the one to secretly mess with the legacy Fred and George are trying to leave behind with their pranks. She also would never have found friends in the most unlikely of places as a result of her feline antics. Being dragged into an adventure as dark times approach, Olive's writing addiction and metamorphic abilities become more than just altering her looks and writing the most thrilling stories.

Adrianna Elwyn. Hufflepuff. Empath. Origami master. For years people wondered where they came from, whether it be a tiny paper rhino poking their ankle during potions, an adorable folded dragon flying around the greenhouse during Herbology or even a swarm of paper planes interrupting quidditch practice. Most assumed the origami army was just another one of Hogwarts quirks, but some knew different. Friends of Adrianna Elwyn knew how she enjoyed the art of paper folding, with many of her creations wondering around the Hufflepuff Common Room. Over the years Adrianna struggles to control her abilities as an Empath, being able to perceive other's emotions makes her an incredibly understanding person but it can also be intensely overwhelming. On the other hand, Oliver Wood never seem to realise how unenthusiastic the rest of his quidditch team was during one of his pep talks. He had a single-minded determination to win, and to do that he knew he needed to practice. The problem being the increased number of paper hummingbirds and butterflies and other distracting flying creatures that seemed to have taken to fluttering around the quidditch pitch during their practice. He also certainly didn't appreciate the little band of Hufflepuffs that showed up to watch them.
