        The Bird Within Me Flies Wherever it Wants

        by Sara Lundberg

        What do you do when it feels impossible to live up to everything that is expected of you? What do you do when the only person who understands you disappear? When you are young and carry a longing for something that you can hardly put words on? Berta was born in 1910 on a farm in a small village in northern Sweden. During her childhood, she lost both her sister and her beloved mother in tuberculosis, the severe lung disease that affected so many people in the early 1900s. She knew early on that she wanted to be an artist and took a stand against the many conventions that existed when it came to work, family and dreams. The Bird Within Me Flies Wherever It Wants is based on the life of artist Berta Hansson but it is also a universal story of grief, longing, intransigence and the power of imagination to change.

        A World of Scars

        by Jorge Díaz Leza

        "During the dry and torrid winter of 2019, in a small town in Catalonia, the adolescent Berta Balaguer deeply admires the young Swedish ecologist Greta Thunberg, whose Fridays For Future Movement is followed with great intensity in other countries in Europe and the world. But the Spanish State still seems oblivious to these mobilizations.   Berta with Jordi, a young man activist of Ecologistas En Acción, will try to organize the movement in her locality and then try to extend it to the rest of the country. Soon, like the Swedish teenager, she will start giving talks and speeches and win many sympathies and followers. However, being a minor and under the tutelage of parents who do not understand her and only expect her academic success, will she finally be able to participate in the school strike for the climate?".   This story closes the book Un Mundo de Cicatrices, a volume of six stories where some of its characters, such as Berta Balaguer, will try to carry out an intense environmental activism by becoming aware that, paraphrasing Aldo Leopold, "they live alone in a world of scars ". Others will simply try to find themselves and their dreams in a context where things will never be easy at all. And on their way, one and the other, will suffer the joys and disappointments of friendship; They will try to find love or to love beyond death; they will be involved in stories of intrigue, disturbing thrillers in which there will be no shortage of nods to film noir; or they will be active participants in some of the most relevant events in our recent history. But all, eventually, will learn that "a world of scars" also opens in the soul of every human being.

        The Broken Ones

        by Natércia Pontes

        A powerful and harsh novel about a family, a messy apartment and the painful discoveries of adolescence. Many things were missing in apartment n. 402, but there was plenty of many others: paper boxes, boards of isopor, knick knacks, cockroaches, termites, dust, dirty glasses. Abigail, Berta and Lúcio are a non conventional triplet: two teenagers that share the apartment with their father, a loving man and a compulsive hoarder. While he hopes for death to arrive soon, he likes giving peculiar advice to his daughters: “Being hungry is cool”.This novel tells a tragic and touching coming-of-age story, though able to make you laugh. Natércia Pontes draws a fascinating picture of three people trying to live with their dreams and fantasies, their fears and manias, in the middle of the piles of waste that inhabit their house.

        El baile de San Pascual

        by Vieco, Camilo

        El Baile de San Pascual is award-winning author Camilo Vieco's first YA Graphic Novel. It is a fantasy epic story set in the Páramos, an endangered enviromnent in Colombia. In times of scarcity, the community that lives around the páramo of Ocetá organizes a party to ask San Pascual for help. But beware of abusing their generosity because the cost can be very high! With this graphic adventure novel, the cartoonist Camilo Vieco inaugurates a world of characters and landscapes inspired by peasant life and the Colombian páramos. Cohete Cómics presents Camilo Vieco's first graphic novel as a complete author. This project was developed at the ÉESI in Anguleme while its author was finishing a master's degree in Sequential Art. El baile de San Pascual is an adventure graphic novel inspired by the life of the peasants and the Colombian páramos. Camilo Vieco starts from the syncretism that occurred in Boyacá during the 16th century between the figure of the saint San Pascual Bailón and the Chibcha god Memcatacaquien to create a story about the relationship between human ambition and the laws of nature. This is the story of an irresponsible man who abuses the generosity of the moor, and of Agustina and Ignacio, two brothers who are forced to resolve the chaos caused by their father. In the process, they learn to take care of themselves and encounter fantastic creatures hidden in the heart of the páramo of Ocetá.
