Book-Talk : Alebrijes by Donna Barba Higuera



In this companion book to The Last Cuentista, Earth has been a barren wasteland for 400 years. Thirteen-year-old pickpocket Leandro takes the fall when his sister Gabi steals a piece of fruit and, in punishment, Leandro’s consciousness is placed inside a small drone, an alebrije, and he is banished from the city of Pocatel. But beyond the walls of Pocatel lie other alebrijes, like Leandro, who seek for a better world. Out there too, lie mutant monsters, wasteland pirates, a hidden oasis, and the truth.
