Los escorpiones

Does good luck exist? Or is it all a matter of probability? Isabel and Nicols are neighbors and they sometimes walk to school together. One morning, Isabel wears her grandmother's bracelet which, according to her, brings good luck.

The dynamic prose, the abundant dialogue, and the descriptions of the characters round out a novel that, with its multiple storylines, captures readers with its plot.
