Elvira Lindo’s series about the adventures of Manolito Four-Eyes is a children’s classic in Spain, where it has inspired feature films and a TV series. It is also popular in other European countries. She has received Spain’s National Children’s Book Award, and her books are regularly translated into some twenty languages. She also works as a screenwriter, and she often contributes to El País newspaper, which is widely read in Spain and Latin America. She lives half of the year in New York City.

“Described by his mother as 'born talking,' Manolito brings his family and friends alive on the page through a chatty, first-person narrative in which he recounts events such as a punch from a bully who breaks his glasses, a visit from a demanding schoolmate named One-and-Only Susana, and a surprise birthday party for his beloved grandpa.... Throughout the book, amusing drawings heighten the understated humor that brightens the story.” —Booklist“To be sure, the protagonist is a wild, spunky, dramatic, comical sort of character sure to be popular with children, who will probably find him, in Manolito's own inimitable words, a 'whole lotta cool.' Lively cartoon illustrations are scattered throughout.” —School Library Journal
