The next stunning novel from Donna Barba Higuera, author of Newbery
and Pura Belpré Award-winning The Last Cuentista This is the story
as it was told to me by Leandro the Mighty. For 400 years, Earth
has been a barren wasteland. The few humans that survive scrape
together an existence in the cruel city of Pocatel - or go it alone
in the wilderness beyond, filled with wandering spirits and wyrms.
They don't last long. 13 year-old pickpocket Leandro and his sister
Gabi do what they can to forge a life in Pocatel. The city does not
take kindly to Cascabel like them - the descendants of those who
worked the San Joaquin Valley for generations. When Gabi is caught
stealing precious fruit from the Pocatelan elite, Leando takes the
fall. But his exile proves more than he ever could have imagined --
far from a simple banishment, his consciousness is placed inside an
ancient drone and left to fend on its own. But beyond the walls of
Pocatel lie other alebrijes like Leandro who seek for a better
world -- as well as mutant monsters, wasteland pirates, a hidden
oasis, and the truth. From Donna Barba Higuera, Newbery and Pura
Belpré Medal-winning author of The Last Cuentista, comes another
novel to astonish us and create a whole new imaginative world, that
holds a mirror to our own.
