L’illa de Paidonèsia (The Island of Paidonesia)

Oriol Canosa, writer / Gabriel Salvadó, illustrator

A hilarious story which paints an ironic picture of adult life.

Synopsis

Nicolàs, a nine-year-old boy, goes sailing with his parents only to find he is bored! They never have any fun and his parents are always arguing. So one day, Nicolás decides to set sail in one of the lifeboats to a tiny island. There, he writes about his adventures. More and more children
come to the island, the adults can do nothing about it, and things get worse and worse – or perhaps better and better!

A funny story that shows how children act out the adult world and mimic society. A story composed entirely of letters which make you laugh and think at the same time.
