«L'estrany» is the young adult novel by Jordi Sierra i Fabra, published by Barcanova in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
In a country under a dictatorship, Daniel and his mother survive with his father in prison. An elderly tenant hides papers in a metal leg and suggests banned books like Moby Dick; Daniel fantasizes that he is a robot or an alien and becomes his shadow. The novel contrasts the lack of freedom with childhood imagination.
First edition published in March 2012; winner of the Premi Barcanova de literatura infantil i juvenil.
For young readers aged 12 and up, within children's and young adult literature, with mystery and a look at the lack of freedom.
