GANADOR DE LA MEDALLA NEWBERY 2024 - #1 BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES
Una alucinante historia llena de ingenio, divertida y por momentos aterradora, apta para humanos de todas las épocas y todas las edades.
Un perro libre. Un perro libre y veloz. Ése es Johannes. Lo has visto? No, no lo has visto. Es tan rápido como la luz. Y no puedes ver cómo corre la luz. Johannes recorre todos los días el inmenso parque nacional donde vive. Tiene que mirarlo todo: él es los Ojos. Su tarea es contarles lo que ve a los Bisontes, sabios que desde su corral aconsejan y sirven de guía a los animales del parque. Sin embargo, un día todo cambia. Han llegado demasiados humanos y parece que van a transformar el paisaje. Johannes quiere averiguar qué pasa, pero para hacerlo debe ir más lento. Por eso, se distrae y lo secuestran.
Gracias a sus amigos, vuelve a la libertad. Ahora quiere compartirla con los Bisontes, sacarlos del corral y mostrarles el mundo. Parece imposible, pero un perro tan rápido como la luz es capaz de todo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
2024 NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER - #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
An astonishing story full of wit, fun, and at times terrifying--suitable for humans of all ages and eras.
A free dog. A free and fast dog. That is Johannes. Have you seen him? No, you haven't. He is as fast as light. And you cannot see how light runs. Johannes roams every day through the vast national park where he lives. He must watch everything: he is the Eyes. His task is to tell the Bison what he sees, wise creatures who from their corral advise and guide the animals of the park. However, one day everything changes. Too many humans arrive, and it seems they are going to transform the landscape. Johannes wants to find out what is happening, but to do so he must slow down. That's when he gets distracted--and is captured.
Thanks to his friends, he regains freedom. Now he wants to share it with the Bison, to free them from the corral and show them the world. It seems impossible, but a dog as fast as light is capable of anything.
