A peculiar search for a hamster, a smelly pirate, big doubts, and Jane Austen feature in this month's selection from booksellers in different autonomous communities.
The paper book has been attending its own funeral for years. Although it was buried by gurus who weren't really gurus: few prophecies were as misguided as the one that digital reading would kill off the physical format. Who knows what those oracles are saying now.
But it's better to focus on a more pertinent question: where is the hamster? Because Takahiro Noda's work, included in this month's selection of the best children and young adult literature by booksellers from different autonomous communities, is precisely an example of the health that books exude. It even changes its own age-old structure, if the story requires it. Let them keep the coffin. And let the box of surprises continue to be opened.
