I killed my brother. It's the summer before grade six and Calvin Sinclair is bored to tears. He's recently moved from a big city to a small town and there's nothing to do. It's hot, he has no friends and the only kid around is his six-year-old brother, Sammy, who can barely throw a basketball as high as the hoop. Cal occupies his time by getting his brother to do almost anything: from collecting ants to doing Calvin's chores. And Sammy is all too eager - as long as it means getting a "Level" and moving one step closer to his brother's Eagle status. When Calvin meets Aleta Alvarado, a new girl who shares his love for Goosebumps books and adventure, Sammy is pushed aside. Cal feels guilty but not enough to change. At least not until a diagnosis makes things at home start falling apart and he's left wondering whether Sammy will ever complete his own journey..."Tender, direct, and honest."—Kirkus Reviews"A moving and ultimately hopeful book."—Booklist Check out Alex Lyttle's other book:The Rise of Winter

Me gustó la manera en la que está narrada, sientes de verdad que es un niño quién te está contando la historia, sin exagerar la voz de ninguna manera. La relación entre Sammy, Cal y Aleta me emocionó mucho hasta el final. <br/><br/><a href="https://el-extrano-gato-del-cuento.blogspot.pe/2017/09/book-review-ant-eagle-alex-lyttle.html"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/tUsXDfR.png" width="200px" /></a><br/><br/><a href="https://twitter.com/EllieIntheHat">Twitter</a> • <a href="http://ellie-in-the-hat.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> • <a href="https://www.tvtime.com/en/user/3798937/profile/">Tvtime</a> • <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/8551416-ella-zegarra">Goodreads</a> • <a href="http://instagram.com/ellieinthehat">Instagram</a> • <a href="http://el-extrano-gato-del-cuento.blogspot.com/">Blog</a>"
