The 2024 Estandarte Award for Best Young Adult Novel recognizes Siempre, the moving conclusion to Morris Gleitzman's acclaimed saga.

Published in Spanish by Kailas, this book masterfully closes a series that has captured the hearts of both young and adult readers, pushing the capacity of young adult literature to excite, educate and transform to the limit.

The saga, which began with Once, narrates the adventures of Felix, a young Jewish boy who struggles to survive in occupied Europe during World War II. Through the following installments, Luego (Then), Ahora (Now), Después (After), Pronto (Soon) and Quizás (Maybe), readers have witnessed his emotional and physical journey, from the innocence of his childhood to the maturity of a survivor marked by history.

With Siempre, Gleitzman closes the circle, offering a profound reflection on resilience, memory and the power of hope even in the bleakest circumstances.
