Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In the heart of Madrid, teenager Kira McIness enters a shadowy world of thieves and pickpockets to recover a pair of stolen earrings. There she confronts a formidable adversary, and struggles with Moroccan tradition when -- for mysterious reasons -- the wrong person confesses to the crime.

Against a backdrop of medieval plazas, an American school, and crumbling middle-eastern tenements, Kira must draw inspiration from Francisco Goya's enigmatic artwork to uncover the truth about herself, her obsession with the crime, and whom she can trust before the wrong person is sent away and the facts become forever silent.

Biografía del autor:

Patricia Cleary is a professor of bilingual education who lives in downtown Madrid, Spain and in the mountains of Washington State. A graduate of Vermont College's Program in Writing for Children, Patricia has authored several bilingual books and has written Spanish language curricula for high school students. Of Kira and the Immigrant Thief, she says, "my best childhood friend was a girl who jumped into life wholeheartedly. This included both the Southern California surf and protests against the despoiling of the sea. She acted with her heart first and dealt with the consequences later. I wondered, if she were dropped into a cosmopolitan city like Madrid, having to tackle a multitude of cultures and languages, what would happen to her?
