In a world built for Perfect Pets, Barnabus is a Failed Project,
half mouse, half elephant, kept out of sight until his dreams of
freedom lead him and his misfit friends on a perilous adventure. A
stunning picture book from international bestsellers The Fan
Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan. Deep underground
beneath Perfect Pets, where children can buy genetically engineered
",perfect", creatures, there is a secret lab.Barnabus and his
friends live in this lab, but none of them are perfect. They are
all Failed Projects. Barnabus has never been outside his tiny bell
jar, yet he dreams of one day seeing the world above ground that
his pal Pip the cockroach has told him about: a world with green
hills and trees, and buildings that reach all the way to the sky,
lit with their own stars.But Barnabus may have to reach the outside
world sooner than he thought, because the Green Rubber Suits are
about to recycle all Failed Projects . . .and Barnabus doesn't want
to be made into a fluffier pet with bigger eyes. He just wants to
be himself. So he decides it's time for he and the others to
escape.With his little trunk and a lot of cooperation and courage,
Barnabus sets out to find freedom - and a place where he and his
friends can finally be accepted for who they are. This suspenseful,
poignant and magical story about following your dreams and finding
where you truly belong will draw readers into a surreal, lushly
detailed world in which perfection really means being true to
yourself and your friends. 'A stately, cathartic morality tale
about freeing oneself from the tyranny of wanting to be perfect.'

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
