The city does not take kindly to Cascabel like them – the descendants of those who worked the San Joaquin Valley for generations.When Gabi is caught stealing precious fruit from the Pocatelan elite, Leando takes the fall. But his exile proves more than he ever could have imagined -- far from a simple banishent, his consciousness is placed inside an ancient drone and left to fend on its own. But beyond the walls of Pocatel lie other alebrijes like Leandro who seek for a better world -- as well as mutant monsters, wasteland pirates, a hidden oasis, and the truth.From Donna Barba Higuera, Newbery and Pura Belpré Medal-winning author of The Last Cuentista, comes another novel to astonish us and create a whole new imaginative world, that holds a mirror to our own.

各界推薦

各界推薦 “With its social and environmental commentary, this fast-paced and imaginative novel tackles issues of deception and control and leaves one with a sense of wonder that a single flap of a wing or a solitary voice can bring about unimaginable change.” ― Horn Book[STAR] “Alebrijes is breathtaking… A ferociously epic and beautiful middle-grade dystopian novel.” ― Shelf Awareness (starred)[STAR] “Higuera brilliantly balances the heaviness of a dystopian future of a ruined Earth with her own blend of science fiction and Mexican folkloric elements once Leandro leaves his human body… Leandro and his unflinching dedication to an uplifting view of humanity that will spark engagement from the first page and linger in the minds of readers well after they finish the novel.” ― Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred)[STAR] “The captivating novel Alebrijes combines humanity and technology with imaginative splendor.” ― Foreword (starred)[STAR] “An instant classic.”― School Library Journal (starred)[STAR] “This stellar speculative narrative explores themes of identity across circumstance, centering an adolescent without structural power working to protect family and community.”― Publishers Weekly (starred)[STAR] “This heartfelt adventure signals hope for humanity, even in the aftermath of darkness.”― Kirkus (starred)[STAR] “High-stakes adventure… Beautiful, imaginative writing fills this dystopian SF novel. Though it exposes cruelty and corruption, it raises up storytelling, culture, and kindness as stronger yet… A wondrous addition to any collection.” ― Booklist (starred)“Engrossing.” ― The Guardian
