Synopses:
What is in common between Pio and Pinocchio, a wooden puppet who becomes human? Pio is a teenager bewildered with his body and heart. His voice ranges from bass and acute. Pimples burst all over his skin. The mirror reflects the conflict between his thinness and the so dreamed muscles. And that is when his art shows up, discovering the fascinating presence of Lyudmila. In order to charm her, his tactic is to tell her stories, as did Scheherazade or Cyrano de Bergerac. But, due to his own life story, he is used to lie; the starting point for him to begin a post-modern Pinocchio. A rebellious and graffitier, he is involved with videos and rock songs. Nelson Cruz, unquestionably one of the greatest juvenile literature illustrator talents, gifts this book by adding modern illustrations.
