From the time he is a young boy, Neftalí hears the call of a
mysterious voice. Even when the neighborhood children taunt
him, and when his harsh, authoritarian father ridicules him,
and when he doubts himself, Neftalí knows he cannot ignore
the call. Under the canopy of the lush rain forest, into the
fearsome sea, and through the persistent Chilean rain, he
listens and he follows. . . Combining elements of magical
realism with biography, poetry, literary fiction, and
sensorial, transporting illustrations, Pam Muñoz Ryan and
Peter Sís take readers on a rare journey of the heart and
imagination.
