In the middle of summer, Blaze Werla, a ten-year-old boy living in the countryside with his father and grandmother, often wanders alone on the hill near his home. A message appearing on the slope gives a mysterious turn to his days, and the arrival of Joselle Stark makes the unexpected seem normal: a story about friendship, fears, and the deceased mother.
Original title: Words of Stone, novel originally published in 1992. Translation by Alejandro Fernández Susial and illustrations by Ángel Esteban Lozano.
Recommended for children and young readers aged 10 and up, with an interest in summer, friendship, and mystery stories.
