About
the
Book
"Nobody
knows me as Manolito García Moreno, not even Big Ears López, and
he’s my best friend; even though sometimes he can be a dog and a traitor
(and other times, a dog traitor), he’s still my best friend and he’s
a whole lotta
cool.
In
Carabanchel—that’s the name of my neighborhood in Madrid, in case I
haven’t told you—everyone knows me as Manolito
Four-Eyes."
"Don’t try to be
different," says Manolito’s mother. But he can’t help
it—he doesn’t have to try. Whether he’s fighting over the
One-and-Only Susana; trying
not
to fight with Ozzy the Bully; telling his entire life story to
the school psychologist; or discovering the true meaning of World
Peace—ten-year-old Manolito is a real original. As he’d say, in the
worldwide world, there’s nobody like him! And for the first time, this
best-selling phenomenon from Spain is available in English.
