La puerta del mar
by Miren Agur Meabe
Description
The night her mother died, Elora saw a flash of purple lightning from the window of the Saint-Étienne hospital. She instantly understood that the flash was her mother's flame, recently freed from the world. And, at the same time, she saw a figure draw itself on the glass fogged up by the winter cold: a heart. And the fact is that Elora, like her mother before her, like her grandmother, with whom she must move, possesses a gift that makes her special, intuitive, wise... Like so many women from other times and places, grandmother and granddaughter will have to survive together and be strong. And Elora will discover more than one secret in her new home, on the strange Île Cormoran, the island of the cormorants.

Grupo edebé
At the beginning of the 1990s, edebé embarked on a very solid literary project that included readers for children of all ages. Now edebé has several collections such as My Favourite Tales Tren azul, Tucán (blue, green, orange, red) or Periscopio, ... Some of these collections have already reached 100 titles and have obtained several national and international awards & mentions (Spanish National Children’s and Young Adult Literature Prize, Strega Award, IBBY, White Ravens, Banco libro Venezuela, Cento Award...).
