«La extraña familia Mennym» is Sylvia Waugh's young adult novel, published by Alfaguara in paperback (214 pages, in Spanish).
A family of life-size rag dolls has been living for over forty years in a rented house in England, where they go unnoticed by pretending to be human. The owner's announcement, from Australia, that he will visit the house upends their existence. Between the everyday and the imaginary, the novel reflects on identity, family bonds, and the longing to belong.
First installment of the Mennyms saga. The work was originally published as The Mennyms and received the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize in 1994.
For young readers and for those seeking a close-to-home fantasy, with peculiar characters and an endearing look at family.
