«La puerta trasera del paraíso» is the realistic young adult novel by Luis Leante, published by Santillana Educación (Loqueleo) in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Mario and Joaquín only want to get to their Latin exam on time, but a traffic accident on a rainy day changes their plans. The man hit by Mario's father, Ahmed, has a head wound and still refuses to go to the hospital. From that encounter onward, the story addresses emigration and its complex human dimension, and shows the prejudices and empathy that a vulnerable person awakens.
The work is part of Loqueleo's Blue Series (+12), a collection of recommended readings for young people. Originally published in 2009, this edition is from 2017.
Recommended for young readers aged 12 and up and for those seeking realistic novels that invite reflection on migration, racism, and intercultural coexistence.
Luis Ramón Leante Chacón, commonly known as Luis Leante, is a Spanish novelist and Latin professor.
