«El relato de Boglar es tan atemporal como Las hermanas Penderwick de Jeanne Birdsall o los libros de Edith Nesbit. Las ilustraciones en rojo y el estilo gráfico de Butenko subrayan el tono desenfadado y alegre del libro [...]. Es inevitable dejar escapar una sonrisa a medida que la trama va avanzando». Booklist Ha sido un verano largo y caluroso, pero el final de las vacaciones está a la vuelta de la esquina y Mario, Ana y Croqueta tendrán que volver muy pronto al colegio. Un día en el bosque ven a una niña que llora desconsolada porque no encuentra a Clementina. Aunque está anocheciendo, el bosque es muy grande y no saben cómo es Clementina, los niños deciden ir a buscarla... Pronto se les unirán sus amigos Ramón y Román. Lo que no se imaginan es que no son los únicos... Esa noche se desata una tormenta y, bajo la lluvia, seis niños, un artista cascarrabias, un periodista amodorrado, unos policías fuera de quicio y un coche destartalado irán tras las huellas de la misteriosa Clementina.

Sopravvissute per millenni, tramandate e raccontate di generazione in generazione, travalicando lo spazio e il tempo in cui erano sorte, le fiabe hanno viaggiato e superato confini ovunque vi fossero comunità predisposte ad ascoltarle e ad accettarne empaticamente il significato più riposto e profondo. Attraverso la forma fantastica tali narrazioni hanno distillato e veicolato un’arcaica sapienza, frutto consequenziale delle esperienze praticate dall’umanità nel suo complesso articolarsi per sopravvivere: uomini e donne di tutti i tempi hanno trovato risposte ai propri dubbi, interrogativi e problemi che da secoli attanagliavano i loro destini e ai quali era d’uopo trovare soluzioni ariose, creative e avventurose, mostrando al contempo nella loro pervicace totalità l’ampia tavolozza delle condizioni e delle vicende umane.
