This is an enchanting novel full of hope and magical realism, told through the eyes of 11-year-old Maximiliano. He loves fútbol and the stories told by his Buelo, many about their family history as Guardians of the Hidden Ones, helping those fleeing oppression. One night, Max, too, is called. A timely story, this is one that you will not soon forget.
