Desde hace 400 años, la Tierra es un páramo estéril. Los pocos humanos que quedan luchan por sobrevivir en la cruel ciudad de Pocatel. Su otra opción es aventurarse solos en las tierras salvajes, que están plagadas de espíritus errantes y gudrones. No duran mucho.

Leandro, un ladroncito de 13 años, y su hermana Gabi hacen lo que pueden para forjarse una vida en Pocatel. La ciudad no es amable con cascabeles como ellos, descendientes de quienes trabajaron en el valle de San Joaquín durante generaciones.

Luego de que atrapan a Gabi robando la preciada fruta de la elite pocatelana, Leandro asume la responsabilidad del robo. Su exilio resulta ser mucho más de lo que él podría haber imaginado de un simple destierro: su conciencia es colocada en un antiguo dron y… a arreglárselas solo. Pero más allá de los muros de Pocatel hay otros alebrijes que, como Leandro, quieren un mundo mejor. También hay monstruos mutantes, piratas del páramo, un oasis oculto… y la verdad.

Duli is a dinosaur who lives in a cave on the top of a hill. He dreams of being able to get close to the children he sees playing down in the valley. But Duli is afraid of not being accepted… I loved translating it because it is essential to accept others as they are with respect and affection, and children are very sensitive, so it is more difficult for them to manage their insecurity.

Ninth Edition

Cherished by millions of readers, this #1 New York Times best-selling novel is a powerful tale of perseverance and hope. Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park interweaves the stories of two Sudanese children who overcome mortal dangers to improve their lives and the lives of others.

A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about two eleven-year-olds in Sudan, a girl in 2008 and a boy in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the “lost boys” of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya’s in an astonishing and moving way. Includes an afterword by author Linda Sue Park and the real-life Salva Dut, on whom the novel is based, and who went on to found Water for South Sudan.

This was a great opportunity offered to me by Bill Greendyke. Inspired by author Beatrix Potter’s own pets, the Peter Rabbit fable centers on a family of rabbits with human characteristics. Peter is a mischievous rabbit who likes to get into trouble, unlike his three sisters who maintain impeccable good behavior.
Wonderful teaching for naughty children!
