Cassandra Terensi è sempre stata considerata una stramboide. Oltre ad essere una fervente sostenitrice del partito PB (Popolazione Brutta) e una divoratrice di libri, serie tv, anime e manga, Cassie possiede un quaderno delle maledizioni con cui lanciare anatemi maligni contro chi le ha fatto un torto, fa riti di purificazione per salvare la sua anima dalle scorie negative del mondo e trova ogni scusa possibile per parlare del suo credo a chiunque: la Parola del Sacro Alberto Angela. Ma una in particolare è la caratteristica principale con cui la ragazza è conosciuta a tutti: la sua smisurata (e mai spiegata) fobia nei confronti degli esseri umani dotati di cromosoma XY. Cassandra e gli uomini sono come gli spaghetti alle vongole con il parmigiano, la pizza con l'ananas, Superman con la Kryptonite e Batman con la gioia di vivere. Cresciuta solamente dalla figura femminile di sua nonna, Cassie non è minimamente in grado di controllare la sua fobia nei confronti dei pippolodotati, specie quelli belli. Questo fino a quando la Regina delle Nevi, sua nonna Elsa, non le dà un ultimatum: la ragazza dovrà iniziare a sostenere economicamente la famiglia, pena, altrimenti, la perdita di tutte le registrazioni di Ulisse. Per un colpo di fortuna, Cassie riesce a trovare lavoro in una libreria della città come commessa. Un luogo perfetto per lei, sicuro da ogni pericolo! In fondo, si sa, gli uomini non sanno leggere, solo scaccolarsi! Ogni certezza di Cassie crolla, però, con l'arrivo di un nuovo cliente fisso: Simon. Lui è il Male in persona, l'Essere Lucente declamato dalle Sacre Scritture, il pokemon raro dotato sia di bellezza che di cervello. In pratica: l'apocalisse. Come potrà Cassie sopravvivere? In che modo potrà non sciogliersi di fronte alla lucentezza e la dolcezza di Simon? Soprattutto se, al loro primo incontro, l'unica cosa che è in grado di fare è piangere e pregare Alberto Angela di salvarla? Crediti della copertina a @RainbowCockatoo
