El medallón perdido tells the story of Benjamín, a young man who spends the summer with his uncle in Africa. There, he discovers a different culture, a completely foreign world, and becomes closer to his father, who died a few years earlier in a plane crash, through his own uncle and all the people who knew him. During his stay, he discovers the existence of the medallion and the need to search for his father's at the crash site.
Through the search for this object, he almost unwittingly connects with his family and friends through these experiences. This intriguing plot transports the reader to a story full of emotions, discoveries, and adventures.
The work explores themes such as self-knowledge and the search for identity. In the process of unraveling the medallion's mysteries, Benjamín faces questions about his family and his own history. Through this experience, the book shows us how connections to the past help us understand who we are, highlighting the value of our roots and the impact of personal and family decisions on the formation of our identity.
