Cornelius y el almacén de imposibles
Two very special visitors arrive in Villatorcida and open a curious shop that will have people talking. Villatorcida is a mountain village with one specific characteristic: nothing is straight! One fine day two peculiar characters arrive: Tobías, a little boy, and Cornelius, who looks like a wizard. They soon make friends with a little girl from the village, Mar, and her grandfather, who is blind but can see what it important about people and things. The new arrivals open a fantastic business: a shop of impossible things, where the people of the village can find the feelings or qualities they need. The shop works well and all is peace and harmony. But everything gets out of hand because not everyone understands or welcomes the initiative and because, unfortunately, the person controlling the situation stops doing so. A book with many levels that creates a peculiar atmosphere and world.
