Adriana Falcão Brazil

|
Adriana Falcão was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1960, but
spent most of her life in
Luna Clara e Apolo Onze
(“Luna Clara and Apolo Onze")
is an amusing fantasy tale bursting
with original ideas and bizarre characters.
Twelve-year-old Luna Clara‘s
greatest wish is to meet
her father, while Apolo Onze‘s only desire
in the world is to be
able to wish
for something. When they meet,
they set off together to avert
imminent desaster…
At times sad, romantic and
ironic and written in witty language, Luna Clara
e Apolo Onze deserves to become a classic of children's and
young people's literature.
