When she discovers that someone is threatening the life of a baby elephant at her parents' clinic, Oriol is determined to take action. As she begins to create a world of words for herself, Oriol learns it will take courage and strength to do what she thinks is right--even if it means keeping secrets from those she loves.Oriol nació en Cuba, pero vive en Santa Bárbara, California, donde no logra encontrar su sitio.

Manual de un héroe para las vacaciones de verano / by Cartaya, Pablo,author.(CARDINAL)357401; Esparza, Daniel(Translator),translator.;
"Gonzalo Alberto Sánchez García has never considered himself the hero of his own story. He's an observer, quietly snapshotting landscapes and drawing the creatures he imagines emerging from them. Forced to spend the summer with his estranged grandfather, Alberto William García--the very famous reclusive author--Gonzalo didn't expect to learn that heroes and monsters are not only the stuff of fantasy. But that's precisely what happens when Gonzalo's CEO mother, Veronica, sends Alberto on tour to promote the final book in his fantasy series for children and Gonzalo must tag along, even though he feels no connection to his grandfather or the books. Together, they embark on a cross-country road trip from Mendocino to Miami in a classic 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible named Mathilde. Over the course of ten epic days on the highway, they will slay demons, real and imagined; confront old stories to write new ones; and learn what it truly means to show up for your family."--Provided by publisher."Gonzalo Alberto Sánchez García nunca se ha considerado el héroe de su propia historia. Es un observador silencioso, que captura paisajes y dibuja a los animalitos que imagina en ellos. Obligado a pasar el verano con su abuelo a quien no ve muy seguido, Alberto William García -el famoso autor ermitaño- Gonzalo no espera descubrir que los héroes y los monstruos existan más allá de la fantasía. Pero eso es precisamente lo que ocurre cuando la madre de Gonzalo, Verónica, una exitosa ejecutiva, envía a Alberto de gira para promocionar el nuevo libro de su serie de fantasía infantil, y Gonzalo debe acompañarlo, a pesar de no sentir conexión alguna con su abuelo o con sus libros. Juntos, emprenden un viaje por carretera de costa a costa, desde Mendocino hasta Miami, en un clásico Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible de 1968 al que llaman Mathilde. A lo largo de diez días épicos en la carretera, enfrentarán demonios, reales e imaginados; revisitarán viejas historias que servirán para escribir nuevas; y aprenderán lo que realmente significa estar presente para la familia."--Provided by publisher.
