«Bolas Locas» is the young adult novel by Betsy Cromer Byars, published by Noguer y Caralt Editores in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Carlie, Harvey and Thomas J. are three children marked by abandonment who end up living together in a foster home. At first they find it hard to trust and feel adrift, like loose balls in a pinball machine; the friendship that grows between them allows them to face the changes and learn to care for one another.
The English original, The Pinballs, was published in 1977; this Spanish edition is part of the Cuatro Vientos collection (no. 59) and includes illustrations by Javier Lobato and a translation by Álvaro Forqué.
A suitable read for young people aged 14 and over, especially for those looking for realistic stories of friendship and overcoming adversity.
