«Los Comefuegos» is the young adult novel by David Almond, published by Roca Editorial in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
In the autumn of 1962, Bobby Burns faces a new school and his father's illness while adults fear a nuclear war. His friendship with Ailsa Spink and his encounter with McNulty, a man who spits fire on the beach, open a path for him to transform the world and regain hope.
The novel, originally published as The Fire-Eaters, won the 2003 Whitbread Award for children's fiction. This Spanish edition is translated by Inés Belaustegui Trías.
For young adult and adult readers, it is a coming-of-age and friendship story with the fear of nuclear war as a backdrop.
