SYNOPSIS

'Arracades d'avellaner' (Hazelnuts), is a novel based in reality with a touch of the fantastical. It's main protagonists are a seven year old girl, Lisa, and her pet, a tame fox called Ketti who is two years old. The fox narrates the story and as in fairy tales, appears very anthropomorphised. Lisa lives in a sort of paradise, an idyllic bubble - surrounded by her family, nature, friends and toys - which in one fell swoop is turned upside down. The tenderness and tranquillity that have up until that point dominated Lisa's life are turned into uncertainty and fear. These feelings affect her whole family and her especially, to the point that she becomes sick. Ketti and Grandpa Pere are key figures in getting Lisa through all this. The story transitions naturally between reality and fantasy in a way that will enchant the reader.
