Tú y tu planeta

Wei-Lin and her grandfather live on the Yang-Tsé river in China during the Neolithic revolution. They spend days fishing, collecting fruit, and stocking up on rice. At night around the fire, Wei-Lin's grandfather plays beautiful melodies on the flute and tells stories--until the day he begins to lose his memory. Wei-Lin tries to find a solution to this problem with an original and revolutionary idea that will change history.

Elements of magical realism turn a grandmother/grandson day of fishing into an extraordinary experience. When this duo casts out their lines, they catch some fish and a snapping turtle. But with a little time and patience, they catch all sorts of unexpected things in Magic Lake--rollerblades, fuzzy slippers, a fire-breathing dragon, and a ferry that takes them to faraway places. The young boy learns that life is an adventure filled with the magic of possibility.

"Es miércoles. Buscas tesoros en la orilla abandonada del puerto. De repente, el suelo tiembla muy fuerte. Una espesa humareda te ciega y te hace toser. Es un dragón! Tienes una sola idea: salvarte! Pero, ocurre que te atrapa con una de sus poderosas garras. Socorro! Qué hará contigo?"-P. [4] of cover.
