La lección de August, teje una bellísima y desgarradora historia sobre el poder del amor y sobre los vínculos que nos unen a través de la distancia y el tiempo. Un clásico moderno capaz de llegar a lectores de todas las edades. Silas, de 12 años, despierta en la oscuridad de la noche y descubre que tres jinetes han llegado para llevarse a su padre. El chico se queda solo y asustado, pero, cuando el destino lleva a un poni a aparecer en su puerta, sabe lo que tiene que hacer: partir en un peligroso viaje que lo conectará con su pasado y su futuro, y con los insondables misterios del mundo que lo rodea. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Perfection." -The Wall Street Journal The bestselling author of Wonder returns with an enthralling adventure about a boy on a quest to rescue his father, with only a ghost as his companion and a mysterious pony as his guide. Twelve-year-old Silas is awoken in the dead of night by three menacing horsemen who take his father away. Silas is left shaken, scared, and alone, except for the presence of his companion, Mittenwool . . . who happens to be a ghost. When a pony shows up at his door, Silas makes the courageous decision to leave his home and embark on a perilous journey to find his father. Along the way, he will face his fears to unlock the secrets of his past and explore the unfathomable mysteries of the world around him. R. J.
