El giro de una carta puede cambiar tu destino en esta aventura para jóvenes lectores, basada en el juego de cartas LoterÃa y perfecta para los fanáticos de la pelÃcula Coco. Mientras busca a su primo que ha desaparecido, una joven es transportada a un reino mÃtico donde se enreda en un peligroso juego de azar.
Un cuento mágico y filosófico arraigado en la tradición mexicana. --School Library Journal, reseña destacada A la hora más calurosa del dÃa más caluroso del año, un fatÃdico viento sopla sobre la ciudad de Oaxaca silba mientras recorre las calles empedradas y susurra los árboles de jacaranda antes de deslizarse por la ventana de una niña de once años llamada Clara. Sin que ella lo sepa, Clara ha sido marcada para la LoterÃa. La Vida y la Muerte se reparten los naipes de la LoterÃa una vez al año, y lo que está en juego es algo muy grande. Cada carta revela un nuevo giro en el destino de Clara: un escorpión, una flecha, una rosa tan roja como la sangre. Si la vida gana, Clara vivirá hasta una edad avanzada. Si la muerte prevalece, ella se apagará como se apaga una vela. Pero Clara desconoce todo esto. Lo único que ella sabe es que su primo Esteban ha desaparecido, y hará lo que sea por salvarlo, hasta viajar al mÃtico Reino de Las Pozas, donde cada acción tiene un precio, y cada decisión tiene consecuencias. Y aunque parezca que su destino está sellado, Clara podrÃa tener lo necesario para romper el juego y elegir un nuevo camino. Karla Arenas Valenti teje una aventura llena de magia y mitologÃa, donde explora la noción de libre albedrÃo en un mundo donde el destino es dueño de todas las cartas. La novela está regiamente ilustrada por Dana Sanmar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The turn of a card could change your destiny in this captivating middle grade adventure based on the LoterÃa card game, perfect for fans of Coco. While searching for her missing cousin, a young girl is transported to a mythical kingdom, becoming entangled in a perilous game of chance. A magical, philosophical tale rooted in Mexican lore. --School Library Journal, starred review. In the hottest hour of the hottest day of the year, a fateful wind blows into Oaxaca City. It whistles down cobbled streets and rustles the jacaranda trees before slipping into the window of an eleven-year-old girl named Clara. Unbeknownst to her, Clara has been marked for la LoterÃa. Life and Death deal the LoterÃa cards once a year, and the stakes could not be higher. Every card reveals a new twist in Clara's fate--a scorpion, an arrow, a blood-red rose. If Life wins, Clara will live to a ripe old age. If Death prevails, she'll flicker out like a candle. But Clara knows none of this. All she knows is that her young cousin, Esteban, has vanished, and she'll do whatever it takes to save him, traveling to the mythical Kingdom of las Pozas, where every action has a price, and every choice has consequences. And though it seems her fate is sealed, Clara just might have what it takes to shatter the game and choose a new path. Karla Arenas Valenti weaves an adventure steeped in magic and mythology--gorgeously illustrated by Dana Sanmar--exploring the notion of free will in a world where fate holds all the
cards.
