Sinossi

We are now in the future. Machines and technology have overtaken reading, books, and imagination. Reason has been replaced by artificial intelligence, as humanity becomes more obsessed with consumption over creation. Automation has left a pale substitute of what used to be. Unique sensations of smell and sight are lost as fruits are no longer as tasty, and stars are no longer as bright. The sky is bleak from the pollution of so-called development, destroying everything good and natural.

This story serves as a warning of what might happen to our future if we don’t reclaim our humanity.
This is a wake-up call: we must remind ourselves of what it means to be curious again – to be human again, and restore color to our world before it is too late.

    Book two in this fast-paced and exciting series for middle grade fantasy, mystery, and animal buffs. 
    Noah and his friends thought they had seen it all during their first journey into the Secret Zoo—but it was only the beginning. Now they must train to become Crossers, members of a secret society who freely travel to the Secret Zoo and back, helping to defend its borders. But now that the monstrous sasquatches are on the loose and the evil Shadowist is plotting destruction, will Noah, Megan, Ella, and Richie have what it takes to survive? 
    The author originally had the idea for The Secret Zoo when he was nine and wondered what would happen if zoo exhibits had secret doors that allowed kids to go inside—and the animals to come outside. He brings that sense of adventure and excitement to this story, making it a favorite for home and classroom reading along with such middle grade fantasy favorites as The One and Only Ivan.

    Carcara, the wise eye is a story of self-reliance and determination. We all are singular individuals, independent and unique, but, contradictorily, dependent and inserted in a society in which we can stand out for our own effort and dedication. By themselves or with someone else, each child will always be unique, and we would like them to have the vision of their own power and resistance, to decide the best for them, recognizing the importance of the other.The collection "The 7 Virtues – Stories from Hawk`s Little Ranch was created to motivate parents and educators to tell stories to children, motivating them to think about human values.The characters, personified animals, represent the virtues and tell stories of the folklore of the State of Minas Gerais – Brazil, as well as legends, myths and manifestation of a culture. All stories in the book are based on true events that happened at the ranch of the author's ranch. It's a collection of children's books, with stories based on the folklore of the Center-West of Minas Gerais State. Through humanized animals, the author not only records the oral history, but also rescues values such as respect, honesty, solidarity, endurance, generosity and friendship, dating back to the time of Grandma, but always needed for proper social coexistence.
