Rey
by Mónica Rodríguez
Description
On good days her mum would call him “King, my little king…”. On bad days, after getting drunk, she would yell at him or insult him. But when she starts dating Ulric, a violent policeman that beats her, the situation becomes unbearable so he decides to run away from home. Starving and freezing, after having gone through so many dangers in the city, he is adopted by a wild dog that lives with a pack hidden in the woods. Later on, he will be accepted as a part of the pack. Then, he forgets his human kind and learns to communicate and behave like those animals: he will be one more of their kind. BASED ON A REAL STORY OF A LITTLE BOY WHO HAS TO SURVIVE AMONG A PACK OF STRAY DOGS. A STORY FULL OF POETRY THAT SHOWS HOW THE BOY FACES ABANDONMENT, LONELINESS, MISTREATMENT AND ESPECIALLY, HOW HE FACES BEASTS…EITHER ANIMAL OR HUMAN.

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...). Moreover, in 1993 EDEBE promoted the edebé Literature Award acknowledged as one of the most prestigious awards of Children’s and Young Adult’s Literature in our country given the solid, skilled range of writers who have already been awarded, in some cases acting as a springboard for their literary career (see the list in our catalogue).
