Novela galardonada con el Premio El Barco de Vapor 2006. Cabello Largo necesita piedras transparentes contra los mal�ficos; Perro Rastreador, madera para fabricar arcos; Cuervo Blanco, tierra y agua; todos en la tribu, leyendas para pasar la noche... Sin embargo, Ojo de Nube, que parec�a tener menos que aportar, ser� el �nico capaz de burlar a los �malacosa�. A veces, las adversidades hacen grandes a los que parecen m�s d�biles.

About the Author

Ricardo G�mez Gil naci� en un pueblo de Segovia en febrero de 1954. Su familia emigr� a Madrid, donde se cri� y ha vivido desde entonces. Hasta que se dedic� a la escritura, pasados los cuarenta, trabaj� como profesor de matem�ticas. Adem�s de leer y escribir, le gusta el cine, la fotograf�a, pasear y escuchar m�sica. �Me repugnan la injusticia y la barbarie. Odio a los que promueven la guerra.

Su obra ha sido merecedora de varios premios, como el Premio Juan Rulfo-Uni�n Latina (1996), Premio Ignacio Aldecoa de Cuento (1997 y 1998), Premio Ciudad de Mula (1998), Premio Nacional de Poes�a Pedro Iglesias Caballero y el Premio Felipe Trigo de Novela (1999), Premio Hucha de Plata, de FUNCAS-Hucha de Oro y Premio de cuentos La Felguera (2001), Premio Alandar de Literatura Juvenil (2003), Premio de Literatura Infantil El Barco de Vapor (2006), Premio Cervantes Chico por el conjunto de su obra (2006) y, �ltimamente, el Premio de Literatura Juvenil Gran Angular 2010, adem�s de diversos acc�sits y menciones como finalista de otros tantos.
