| Publisher Description: An imaginative extension of contemporary Latin American fiction, this graphic novel touches on universal themes--death, friendship, love, and others--from a uniquely feminine perspective. On her surreal adventures, the protagonist encounters a ghost in the house, time travel, snow that bears a striking resemblance to lemon ice cream, and even a meeting with Death. Some panels include dialogue, while others forgo it for a purely visual impact. In either case, the witty and tender narrative injects magic and innocence into a world of danger and wonder, and encourages readers to overcome adversity with humor and a positive frame of mind. "Una extension imaginativa de la narrativa latinoamericana contemporanea, esta novela grafica abarca temas universales--la muerte, la amistad, el amor y otros--desde una perspectiva singularmente femenina. En sus aventuras surrealistas, la protagonista se encuentra con un fantasma en la casa, un viaje en el tiempo, nieve que tiene una apariencia muy parecida a la del helado de limon y hasta a la Muerte. Algunas de las vinetas incluyen dialogo, otras lo renuncian a favor de un impacto puramente visual. En ambos casos, la narrativa ingeniosa y tierna introduce la magia e inocencia en un mundo de peligro y maravillas y anima al lector a superar la adversidad con humor y de buen talante." |
