El mapa secreto de las cosas

De Maria Jose Navia
Illustrated by Fabian Rivas

Extraordinary things are happening in the town of Mateo: some people are having their wishes fulfilled. But it is not clear what things will come true, or to whom or where the wishes will be fulfilled. Mateo records the events and places and draws his secret map of things. He, like many, also wants something.

A novel that shows the world through the eyes of an eleven-year-old boy, with the honesty, sense of humor and freshness typical of that age. María José Navia writes in an agile, creative way, without fear of emotions and valuing human relationships. A text very well accompanied by illustrations by Fabián Rivas.
