Ben Brooks Libros

Todos ellos tienen historias de vida donde desafiaron las expectativas, fueron contra corriente y persiguieron sus sueños, a pesar de una tormenta aparentemente imposible de obstáculos y dificultades. Sus historias son increíbles, al igual que las del músico Ed Sheeran, el diseñador Yves Saint Laurent y los otros chicos inspiradores que llenan las páginas de este extraordinario libro. Son libros como estos los que pueden hacer una gran diferencia en la vida de los padres y de sus hijos. En estos tiempos, cualquier publicación que muestre cómo podemos triunfar ante la adversidad y los prejuicios merece ser leída una y otra vez.

Sinopsis: Oleg y Emma llevan todo el curso jugando a un juego: el de inventarse a un tercer amigo. Así pasan el rato. Un día se inventan a Sebastian Cole, un niño capaz de millones de locuras. Nadie en su sano juicio creería que alguien así existe. Solo que un día Sebastian Cole aparece en la guarida secreta de Emma y Oleg, a bordo de una nave espacial de cartón. ES IMPOSIBLE. Y lo que todavía no saben es que muchas otras cosas imposibles están a punto de suceder.
