Shola and the Lions (Pushkin Children's Collection) - Softcover
"So..." Shola wagged her tail doubtfully, "if I'm a lion, why does Grogó insist on calling me a mere mutt?"
Shola is sure that her noble nature and ambitions of grandeur mean only one thing - that she is, in fact, not a dog but a lioness. To the bemusement of her long-suffering owner, Señor Grogó, she sets off to prove her heroic status to the world (and to herself). If only those pesky ducks, nonchalant cats and tempting snacks weren't there to stand in her way...
The Adventures of Shola won the 2015 Marsh Award for Children's Literature and was an Independent Children's Book of the Year
'Fabulous... will make you laugh your socks off' Guardian Children's Books
'Shola is a charming, short creature stuffed with charisma and fierce ideas, and so is the book about her' Bookbag
'An irresistibly characterful little dog' PEN Atlas Books of the Year
Mikel Valverde's illustrations are most expressive and the English translation comes courtesy of the great Margaret Jull Costa... Shola is one of the most impressive heroines of the modern world' Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
