About this title

Synopsis

By award-winning Mexican author Alberto Blanco, comes the story of how a young kite maker mysteriously brings back the missing church bell to his beloved town.

No one knows what happened to the bell in the church tower. Did the priest sell the bell to a foreign collector? Did revolutionaries melt it down and turn the metal into cannons? Or was it magic? Whatever the reason, the town hasn't been the same since. To heal the pain of this loss, Angel, the young kite maker, creates a beautiful kite that shows the whole town-including the missing church bell. After an exciting chase and a lonely night on a cold mountaintop with his three loyal dogs, Angel succeeds in bringing back the bell to his beloved town.
