4.5 stars. I laughed loudly so many times that my 14 yo son pressed me to finish so he could have a turn. But the thing about Colfer is, his books have excitement, character development, and even a little emotional stuff too. This had all of the above in spades.
Benny Shaw es un chico listo, pero también un señoritingo de ciudad. Babe Mara es una chica de pueblo, una «paleta», que, no obstante, le da cien vueltas al señoritingo. De vacaciones en la costa, Benny está en el territorio de Babe, y se ve obligado a afrontar los constantes desafíos de quien, además, se está convirtiendo en una atractiva adolescente. ¿Qué hará Benny? Una magnífica historia de aventuras, humor y amistad en la que no falta el riesgo.
