        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.

        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.
