«Los hermanos Willoughby» is Lois Lowry's humorous young adult novel, published by Anaya Infantil y Juvenil in hardcover (176 pages, in Spanish).
Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby are such selfish and inattentive parents that their children decide to try to become orphans. The appearance of a mysterious baby, an eccentric candy maker, and a nanny who likes to stand still like a statue complicates all their plans. With black humor and absurd situations, the novel parodies tales of orphans, stern nannies, and old-fashioned families.
«Los hermanos Willoughby» is the first installment of Lois Lowry's The Willoughbys series. Translation by Jaime Valero Martínez. The novel received the Parents' Choice Gold Award.
For readers aged 10 and up who enjoy clever parodies, absurd humor, and nods to classic orphan tales.
