"A novel of well-defined characters, authentic and convincing - a gift to the readers that lets them grow. " - Pati de llibres
"With a fluid and elegant prose and careful detail and dialogues that both children and adults will enjoy... [and] original black and white illustrations by Javier Andrada, this timeless fable reminds us of how easy it can be to face and overcome our problems if we have the courage to recognise them and step outside the box." - El templo de las mil puertas
There are people who seem to have come to the world to change it, to open new paths, to make this part of the universe even more special than before.
Skew-Whiff Village is a mountain village which has one special feature: nothing in it is straight. One day, two rather peculiar people arrive in the village: Tobias, a boy, and with him a man calles Cornelius who looks a lot like a wizard.
They soon come on good terms with Mar, a girl from the village and her blind grandfather, who has the gift of seeing what is actually important in people and things.
The two recent arrivals open a most fantastic establishment: The Store of Impossibilities. Here villagers find exactly what they need in terms of feelings or features, leaving behind in exchange something that they don’t need or have in excess.
The store works very well and most people from the village come to visit it, thereby enjoying a spell of notable happiness and sense of equilibrium.
But the situation takes a serious turn, for not everybody understands the initiative, has a good opinion of it or the best intentions. And when the person in charge of controlling the situation unfortunately stops doing so, the village is faced with severely chaotic consequences.
