La platja dels inútils

Synopsis of La platja dels inútils

«La platja dels inútils» is the children's story by Alex Nogués, published by Akiara Books in hardcover (88 pages, in Catalan).

Sofía is eleven and a half and insists that when she grows up she wants to be useless. She loves the beach in winter, prefers Mozart or Kandinsky to math and is annoyed that her father keeps insisting that one day she will have to earn a living. It is an innocent and moving tale about the value of simple things and the importance of pursuing one's own dreams.

First title in the Akinarra collection, with illustrations by Bea Enríquez and translation by Anna Llisterri.

Aimed at readers aged 9 to 12, especially those who enjoy illustrated stories that invite reflection.
