Description
Winner of the Newbery Medal-a brilliant journey through the stars, to the very heart of what makes us human. "Gripping in its twists and turns, and moving in its themes - truly a beautiful cuento."-New York Times Había una vez . . .  There lived a girl named Petra Peña, who wanted nothing more than to be a storyteller, like her abuelita.  But Petra's world is ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children - among them Petra and her family - have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race.  Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet - and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship during its journey, bent on erasing the sins of humanity's past. They have systematically purged the memories of all aboard - or purged them altogether. Petra alone now carries the stories of our past, and with them, any hope for our future. Can she make them live again? P R A I S E "Clever and compelling ... wonderfully subversive." -The Wall Street Journal ¿ "This tale packs a wallop. Exquisite." -Kirkus Reviews (starred)  ¿ "Gripping, euphonious, and full of storytelling magic." -Publishers Weekly (starred)  ¿ "A strong, heroic character, fighting incredible odds to survive and protect others." -School Library Journal (starred) A W A R D S Winner of the John Newbery Medal  Winner of the Pura Belpré Award  BEST OF THE YEAR TIME - Wall Street Journal - Minneapolis Star Tribune's - Boston Globe - BookPage - Publishers Weekly - School Library Journal - Kirkus - Bank Street - Chicago Public Library - New York Public Library
