Alicía Catalina Cortés is a Spanish cow who defies tradition to follow her dream of running with the bulls during the fiesta of San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain. The story evokes beloved family films such as Babe and Ratatouille.
"A charming and engaging fantasy with characters readers will love and a strong positive message." -Kirkus Reviews, Our Verdict: Get It
"Great messages for young people of love, acceptance, gender empowerment, honesty, friendship, and going after what one wants abound in Toro, Andrew Avner's one-of-a-kind, animal-populated novel for middle readers." -IndieReader, IR Approved
"This novel has all the elements necessary for a Disney-style movie and will certainly retain the interest of young readers." -Sublime Book Review
Alicía longs to run with the bulls-but since she's a cow, tradition forbids her from the fiesta of San Fermín. Through her journey, she learns that to be noble and brave, she must follow her dream as well as her heart, even if it means going against everything she's been taught.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Pamplona, Toro captures the excitement, danger, and spectacle of one of the world's most iconic festivals.
"A unique spin on the classic 'trading places' tale." -School Library Journal
