HAGAMOS UN TRATO, EMPECEMOS A VIVIR. Una emotiva novela sobre dos amigos. Uno sabe que cada minuto cuenta, el otro está a punto de aprenderlo. Luis tiene dieciséis años y la vida le dio un vuelco cuando le diagnosticaron cáncer. A Diego, residente de oncología, la vida le cambia en el momento que conoce a Luis y acepta ayudarlo a cumplir un último sueño: huir del hospital y viajar a Tarifa para despedirse de la chica de la que se enamoró el verano pasado. Este es el arranque de una aventura que los llevará, en pleno agosto, desde Madrid hasta la costa mientras los padres de Luis y los jefes de Diego les pisan los talones. Esta emotiva y apasionante historia de amistad nos recuerda algo que solemos olvidar: a veces, es necesario hacer un trato con el vértigo y dejar todos los miedos atrás para así alzar el vuelo y empezar a vivir. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION LET'S MAKE A DEAL, LET'S START LIVING. An emotional novel about two friends. One knows that every minute counts, the other one is about to find out. Luis is sixteen years old, and his life is turned upside down when he was diagnosed with cancer. For Diego, an oncology resident, life changes the moment he meets Luis and agrees to help him fulfill one last wish: to flee from the hospital and travel to Tarifa to say goodbye to the girl he fell in love with the previous summer. This is the start of an adventure that will take them, in the middle of August, from Madrid to the coast while Luis's parents and Diego's bosses are hot on their heels. This emotional and passionate story of friendship reminds us of something that we tend to forget: sometimes, it is necessary to make a deal with life and leave all your fears behind in order to take flight and start living.Shipping Notes

A Harrowing Account of Addiction, Recovery, and Relapse
Format: Hardcover
Greg Pizzoli’s The Watermelon Seed offers a deceptively simple yet profound exploration of addiction, recovery, and relapse. Through the crocodile’s obsessive love for watermelon, his panic upon swallowing a seed mirrors the fear and anxiety of losing control. The cycle of indulgence, dread, and inevitable return to the source of both pleasure and distress reflects the cyclical nature of addiction. Pizzoli’s playful illustrations mask a darker undercurrent: the crocodile knows watermelon may harm him — yet he cannot resist. A chillingly accurate portrait of the addictive mind, wrapped in the guise of a children’s story.

Greg Pizzoli's wonderful book, The Watermelon Seed, is a delight for children and adults alike! The whimsical illustrations he creates, keep children glued to each page. It is fun and enjoyable to read over and over again with a child that just has to have it read every single night to them. The story is sweet, simple and meaningful. Whether you are looking for a book for your child, another child or the child in yourself-dive right in. This one is terrific!

Cute but
Format: Hardcover
Caution that some children may be alarmed by the crocodile swallowing the watermelon seed. Know your audience. Otherwise a very cute, silly story that is great for a summer read or watermelon theme lesson.

A Special Education Treasure
Format: Board book
I bought this book with one student in mind. A third grade autistic, non verbal, girl with a love for books, animals and reflective surfaces (windows, puddles, utensils and mirrors to name a few). The bright, cheerful illustration was the immediate interest upon her first look. The engaging fun story kept her attention. The last page captivated her. What a complete joy to watch! She will now say "Wiggle" when she wants this book - several times a day. She follows along with her finger while I read. I do not read the last page. She does that all ON HER OWN! Did I mention non verbal?! I'm purchasing another as a Christmas surprise for her to have at home. I highly recommend this book as a fixture in the classroom for Special Education and Early Learning.
