Grade 4-6. This award-winning title by a prominent Colombian author is now available here. It is a fascinating story of 10-year-old Jeronimo, who lives in the valley of fireflies. His world is like no other, filled with fantastical creatures such as huge turtles that carry the archives of history on their backs and a great falcon that warns birds and people of the coming evil volcano spirit. Other characters include an old bird dealer who is invisible during the day. All of these magical creatures personify values of the world extending beyond good and evil. The plot focuses on Jeronimo and the bird dealer's journey to the volcano and the extraordinary rescue of two magical birds once taken by the dark volcano spirit. Unexpectedly, Jeronimo's courage is rewarded when he finds his long-lost mother. This engaging, lyrically written novel is enhanced throughout by black-and-white drawings. Sure to attract fans of fantasy and magical realism.?Ruth Dlugos, NYPL
