In the Land of Giants

Hunting Monsters in the Hindu Kush

By: Gabi Martínez

The imagination has its sanctuaries, too.' High up in the Hindu Kush, between the ancient pagan Kalash people and the new medievalists of the Taliban, a charismatic young Spaniard, Jordi Magraner, made his home, mastering the local languages and customs before meeting his death in the most mysterious way. In this magisterial book, Gabi Martínez sets off in Jordi's footsteps to the land of the giants in order to try to solve the riddle of this murder and of Jordi's life. Jordi Magraner was a brilliant student of the natural world, whose lab was the ravine and the scarp and the tent. His observational investigations led him to places where the legendary barmanuhad been sighted, and he began to develop a thesis about the life of the wild man. His passion for pursuit and discovery took him onto ever more perilous terrain in the Pakistani-Afghan borderlands. And, one by one, Jordi turned his back on the Europeans who sought to assist him, preferring instead to entrust his safety to an Afghan youth fleeing the Taliban, and to a wondrous working dog called Fjord. Jordi sought other rewards, and followed a winding, rocky path, down which Gabi Martínez resourcefully tracks him on this enthralling journey of detection and adventure in the Himalayas -- where the truth is never as clear and pristine as the majestic mountains and the fast-flowing streams.

Heroes of the Quest

An Impossible Team

By: Mirja Camphausen

Team! I am your leader on this Quest! Follow me!" From the outset of their adventure, Master Mouse is hampered by his hilarious and calamitous teammates who don't even recognize him as their leader. A mouse, a giraffe, a slug and ... a pig?!? All perfectly imperfect, how can they possibly compete against the mighty lions? Will they even finish the final challenge of Quest School? Find out what really matters in the end .... We are all perfectly imperfect, and no one demonstrates this better than Master Mouse and his flawed team of Questers who seem doomed to fail from the outset. Unaware of the unique skills each brings, and all keen to suppress their individual flaws, the ragged team struggle to work together, all with the goal to fulfill the graduation requirements for Quest School. Gemma Giraffe, following revelations of her illiteracy, opts to stay behind. Slow Sally Slug gets distracted, and Robert, in his single-minded focus on food, runs off after spying a decision apple tree. Eager to prove his capabilities and overcome his low self-esteem, Master Mouse is excited to go off on his own but ... something unexpected happens! Will the team members manage to solve their task? Through a hilarious series of mishaps and misunderstandings, this story shows children how vulnerability brings us closer to each other. It demonstrates how embracing our perceived weaknesses helps us cooperate while acknowledging our individuality and diversity. Many children's books address the challenges of childhood, coping with life's lessons and social dynamics, but this book is uniquely positioned to support the current wave of awareness around the dichotomy of inclusion and diversity and shows children how to feel their feelings and be proud of their uniqueness.
