Lorac

La portada de un libro titulado "LORAC" de Neus Figueras, que muestra una vívida escena submarina con un personaje nadando entre peces y corales. El estilo artístico es una mezcla de realismo y fantasía, creando una atmósfera mágica y atractiva que invita a sumergirse en la historia.

Lorac didn’t set out to be the voice of the ocean, but when the future is at stake, being a hero is the only choice.

Lorac, the youngest and most insecure of a family of sea nomads, is caught up in a series of unexpected events that drive him to seek refuge in the heart of the sea.

The dive is full of challenges, but helped by his new friend Zoe, Lorac joins a family of centenarian creatures and discovers the secrets of the coral reef―his true home.

A threat that affects the marine world, however, makes him depart to the place he once knew and now knows no more, in a daring mission to save his loved ones and the ocean.

Lorac will have to make difficult decisions, live in worlds where he doesn’t belong, and prove his worth for the good of all, in a compelling story that blends fantasy and science to fight for our planet.

The Secrets of the Farm

La portada de un libro titulado "Los secretos de la granja" de Neus Figueras y Evan Piccirillo, con ilustraciones de una vaca, un cerdo, una gallina y una niña que unen las patas (y mano y ala) en el centro en un gesto de complicidad o unión.

A story about empathy and friendship, with touches of humor and fantasy, perfect for young animal lovers.

Marta and her little brother, Daniel, are stuck spending the summer at their grandparents’ old farm in the middle of nowhere—and to make matters worse, there’s no internet! But what seems like a season of total boredom turns completely upside down when they crash a secret party and meet a very peculiar gang: Simon, a refined pig who became an athlete without knowing it would save his life; Houdina, a hilarious runaway hen; and Osha, a wise and mystical cow who can influence the emotions of those around her.

Through these newfound friendships, Marta and Daniel discover that animals have feelings just like them and end up having the best summer of their lives. There’s only one problem: Osha avoids every attempt Marta makes to become her friend. But their bond is the key to Osha finding her true destiny—and to saving many more animals.

Will Marta unravel the mystery behind this empathetic cow and win her heart?

I couldn't put the book down! I kept thinking the whole time: "This is genius", "This should be turned into an animated movie!". It is a wonderful story that pulls you in immediately. Along the way, it touches on important issues of our time in a fascinatingly new and refreshing way.
The main character Lorac, is one of a kind, it shows just how emotional you can get with a character as you go on a journey with them.
I loved the bantering dialogue between Lorac and Zoe, it made me laugh aloud several times. The plot is complex with surprising twists that keeps the reader engaged till the end. I literally couldn’t put it down and finished in one day.
If any book could start a movement, this one might be it. The story starts out with some elements that made me think of Disney's wonderful film, Moana, but then evolves into something quite different. I really wasn't sure where it was headed and I was surprised several times.
