El fenómeno editorial del año en redes sociales. Un best-seller internacional con más de 250.000 ejemplares vendidos que consagran a Paul Pen como el autor de thriller del momento. «Un regalo para los amantes de las historias llenas de tensión . --Publisher's Weekly Tengo diez años y llevo toda mi vida en este sótano. Vivo en la oscuridad con mis padres, mi abuela, mi hermana y mi hermano. Todos están desfigurados por el fuego. Mi hermana lleva una máscara blanca para tapar sus quemaduras, porque papá dice que su cara podrÃa asustarme. Me gusta mi cactus. Me gusta leer mi libro sobre insectos. Y tocar durante horas el único rayo de sol que se filtra por una rendija del techo. Pero desde que mi hermana tuvo al bebé, todos actúan de forma extraña. Creo que mienten sobre quién es el padre, sobre el hombre grillo que acecha por las noches, sobre lo que sucedió antes de que yo naciera, sobre por qué estamos aquà encerrados. Por lo menos tengo las luciérnagas. Llegaron hace unos dÃas al sótano y las he guardado en un bote. Como dice mi abuela, no existe criatura más fascinante que aquella que es capaz de crear luz por sà misma. Esa luz me anima a conocer el mundo exterior, a escapar, a descubrir qué sucedió. Lo malo es que aquà todas las puertas están cerradas. Y no sé dónde voy a encontrar una salida... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From bestselling Spanish author Paul Pen comes a haunting and hopeful tale of discovering light in even the darkest of places. For his whole life, the boy has lived underground, in a basement with his parents, grandmother, sister, and brother. Before he was born, his family was disfigured by a fire. His sister wears a white mask to cover her burns. He spends his hours with his cactus, reading his book on insects, or touching the one ray of sunlight that filters in through a crack in the ceiling. Ever since his sister had a baby, everyone's been acting very strangely. The boy begins to wonder why they never say who the father is, about what happened before his own birth, about why they're shut away. A few days ago, some fireflies arrived in the basement. His grandma said, There's no creature more amazing than one that can make its own light. That light makes the boy want to escape, to know the outside world. Problem is, all the doors are locked. And he doesn't know how to get out...
