Do You like book Manolito Gafotas (1994)?
Get in touch with your inner grade school self, and get a little cultural enlightenment while you're at it, by reading Manolito Four-Eyes. Manolito is a 10-year-old schoolboy in Madrid, and the Four-Eyes refers to the fact that he wears glasses. He lives with his parents, his little brother whom he nicknamed The Bozo, and his grandfather. Using fun phrases like "bore galore" and "whole lotta cool", Manolito describes his life as a young boy who constantly gets in trouble. Luckily, he's got a terrific grandpa who usually gets him out of it. This is the Spanish version of the Nicholas books, the Alvin Ho books, and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Go ahead, enjoy being a kid again!

Questo libro lo lessi da bambina, avevo al massimo dieci anni, mi ricordo che a me sembrò un librone lunghissimo e mi ricordo anche che dopo averlo letto lo consigliai a mio padre che lo lesse e a cui piacque, inoltre questo è uno dei titoli che mi sono rimasti nella memoria delle mie letture di bambina.Questo libro è pieno di sentimenti mi ricordo ancora la commozione che ho provato leggendolo e forse leggendolo adesso gli darei una stella in meno, ma un libro che riesce ad emozionare in questo modo un bambino e rimanere nella sua memoria nel modo in cui ha fatto con me allora merita sicuramente 5 stelle!

“My name is Manolito Garcia Moreno, but if you come to my neighborhood and ask the first guy that passes by, ‘Excuse me, please, Manolito Garcia Moreno?’ – one of two things will happen. The guy will shrug, or he’ll mutter something like: ‘Hey, beats me.”That’s because nobody knows me as Manolito Garcia Moreno, not even Big Ears Lopez, and he’s my best friend; even though sometimes he can be a dog and a traitor (and other times, a dog traitor), he’s still my best friend and he’s a whole lotta cool.In Carabanchel – that’s the name of my neighborhood in Madrid, in case I haven’t told you – everyone knows me as Manolito Four-Eyes. Everyone who knows me, of course. People who don’t know me don’t know that I’ve worn glasses since I was five years old. Well, that’s their loss.” (opening paragraphs)This book as rly cute and funny.I seriously loved this book when I read it, and when u read it, you'll be rofl till the end.
