Winner of the 2011 Pure Belpre Award for fiction now in an elegant paperback edition
From the time he is a young boy, Neftali hears the call of a mysterious voice. He knows he must follow it--even when the neighborhood children taunt him, and when his harsh, authoritarian father ridicules him, and when he doubts himself. It leads him under the canopy of the lush rain forest, into the fearsome sea, and through the persistent Chilean rain, until finally, he discovers its source.
Combining elements of magical realism with biography, poetry, literary fiction, and sensorial, transporting illustrations, Pam Munoz Ryan and Peter Sis take readers on a rare journey of the heart and imagination.

Recenzii


Respinning the childhood of the widely beloved poet Pablo Neruda, Ryan and Sis collaborate to create a
stirring, fictionalized portrait of a timid boy's flowering artistry. Young Neftali Reyes (Neruda's real
name) spends most of his time either dreamily pondering the world or cowering from his domineering
father, who will brook no such idleness from his son. In early scenes, when the boy wanders rapt in a
forest or spends a formative summer by the seashore, Ryan loads the narrative with vivid sensory details.
And although it isn't quite poetry, it eloquently evokes the sensation of experiencing the world as someone
who savors the rhythms of words and gets lost in the intricate surprises of nature. The neat squares of Sis'
meticulously stippled illustrations, richly symbolic in their own right, complement and deepen the lyrical
quality of the book. As Neftali grows into a teen, he becomes increasingly aware of the plight of the
indigenous Mapu

Ryan's (Paint the Wind) wandering and imaginative prose and Sis's (The Wall) quietly haunting art fuse in this fictionalized account of Pablo Neruda's upbringing in the small town of Temuco, Chile. Precocious, terribly shy, and insightful, Neruda (known then by his birth name, Neftali Reyes) is curious about all facets of life, particularly the wonders of nature. "He stood, captivated, feeling small and insignificant, and at the same time as if he belonged to something much grander," writes Ryan when Neftali first sees the ocean. His role model is his uncle Orlando, who owns the local newspaper, but his domineering father has no patience for the boy's daydreaming and love of reading and writing, which ultimately provokes Neftali's passion for finding his own voice. Printed in green ink (as is the text), Sis's stippled illustrations provide surreal visual teasers for each chapter. Larger images pair with poetic questions ("Is fire born of words? Or are words born of fire?") that echo

THE DREAMER (star)
Ryan\u2019s fictional evocation of the boy who would become Pablo Neruda is rich, resonant and enchanting. Simple adventures reveal young Neftal\u00ed\u2019s painful shyness and spirited determination, his stepmother\u2019s love and his siblings\u2019 affection and his longing for connection with his formidable, disapproving father. The narrative captures as well rain falling in Temuco, the Chilean town where he was raised, and his first encounters with the forest and the ocean. Childhood moments, gracefully re-created, offer a glimpse of a poet-to-be who treasures stories hidden in objects and who recognizes the delicate mutability of the visible world, while the roots of Neruda\u2019s political beliefs are implied in the boy\u2019s encounters with struggles for social justice around him. Lines from a poem by Ryan along with S\u00eds\u2019s art emphasize scenes and introduce chapters, p

Intermediate, Middle School
As Neftal\u00ed Reyes enters university, his wrathful father forbids wasting time on his useless \u201chobby\u201d: writing. So he fashions a pseudonym: \u201cPablo\u201d from Paolo, in an Italian poem; \u201cNeruda\u201d after a Czech writer. The name fits like a suit: \u201cThe lapels were the width that he liked. The color was soft enough not to offend, but bright enough to be remembered. The name was not only a perfect solution, it was a perfect fit.\u201d Perfect indeed, like the union that resulted in this novel: the subject, poet Pablo Neruda (1904-73), the Chilean Nobel Prize winner; Ryan, the author who re-creates Neruda\u2019s spirit and sensibility; and S\u00eds, the Czech-born illustrator whose escape from oppression (see The Wall, rev. 9/07) so hauntingly resembles Neruda\u2019s struggle for creative freedom.

Gr 4-9-Readers enter the creative, sensitive mind of Pablo Neruda, the Nobel Prize-winning poet, in this beautifully written fictional biography. Ryan artfully meshes factual details with an absorbing story of a shy Chilean boy whose spirit develops and thrives despite his father\u2019s relentless negativity. Neruda, who was born Neftali Reyes, sees, hears, and feels poetry all around him from an early age. Luckily he finds understanding and encouragement from his stepmother and his uncle, whose humanitarian and liberal attitudes toward nature and the rights of the indigenous Mapuche people greatly influence his developing opinions. In early adulthood, Reyes starts using the pseudonym by which he becomes known, taking his last name from that of a famous Czechoslovakian poet. Ryan suggests that this
