Book of the week: «Manual de escritura de literatura infantil y juvenil», by Chiki Fabregat (Páginas de Espuma Publishing)

It includes the basic principles and formats in Children and Young Adult Literature, the themes and their characters, the action, the structure, the tension; the game as a creative tool; genres and limits; humor and fantasy.
