«La guerra de los botones» is the young adult novel by Louis Pergaud, published by Anaya E.L.E. in hardcover (272 pages, in Spanish).
The boys of Velrans and those of Longeverne wage a peculiar war in which the spoils are the buttons, laces and trousers of their opponents. What seems like a simple childish prank conceals a look at the inherited rivalry between men and at the camaraderie born from these clashes.

Aimed at readers aged 9 to 12, at a level of 4th to 6th grade of primary school.
