Winners of the XXI EDEBÉ Prize for Children and Youth Literature: texts full of feelings and mystery

Pilar Molina and David Cirici: winners of EDEBÉ awards

The XXI edition of the EDEBÉ Prize for Children and Youth Literature already has winners: they are 'Molsa' (written by David Cirici) and 'Tesa' (whose author is Pilar Molina). Is about two very different stories that will surprise readers with their characters and atmosphere.

'Molsa' (Moss) - written in Catalan - is a dog that traces in every corner the smell of happiness of Janika, the girl who played with him and lived in his house before the war. The dog tracks the rubble and then must flee through misadventures and owners of the most varied condition, despite that keep looking for the little girl. It's a story of sensations, survival, feelings, so is of struggle and hope to recover what has been lost. This is a book aimed at readers from 10 years that will be published in March with a circulation of 6000 copies.

'Tesa' has been selected by the jury thanks to the powerful atmosphere and atmosphere with which it recreates two parallel worlds and for the quality of the language with which it is written.

Pilar Molina already has in her hands the satisfaction of having won the EDEBÉ Prize for Youth Literature for a manuscript written in Spanish that recreates a domestic story in which the protagonist will live an amazing adventure.

The new life of Tesa with his grandmother and great grandmother will bring many surprises: readers will discover a secret that crosses the borders of family intrigues and takes the characters to another dimension.

A book for teenagers starring a 15 year old girl that we can also open and enjoy from March.

Congratulations to the winners of this award!
