Los primeros años de los hermanos Stone transcurren en el feliz microcosmos del hospital misionero, criados por un grupo de personas que se afana en curar a los enfermos, pero con el paso del tiempo sus vidas comenzarán a tambalearse ante la presión de los acontecimientos que sacuden Etiopía, hasta que los hermanos se ven arrastrados por caminos diferentes. Esta historia apasionante sigue a sus protagonistas a través de la India, África y América durante cinco décadas, en un gran fresco de un país muy poco conocido en occidente

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NATIONAL BESTSELLER * MORE THAN 2 MILLION COPIES SOLD

Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon. Orphaned by their mother's death and their father's disappearance, bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution.

Moving from Addis Ababa to New York City and back again, Cutting for Stone is an unforgettable story of love and betrayal, medicine and ordinary miracles--and two brothers whose fates are forever intertwined.

This sweeping, emotionally riveting novel that "shows how history and landscape and accidents of birth conspire to create the story of a single life" (Los Angeles Times) is an enthralling family saga of Africa and America, doctors and patients, exile and home.

Hilarious Nonfiction!
Format: Hardcover
I'm always on the lookout for a nonfiction book that will grab the students' attention. This is it! The author does a great job of melding accurate information with a fun format. Of course, there's also the narrative tension of not knowing the superpower until the very end, so readers never stop turning the pages. Am excited to see this is a series. Will order the second book today!

So much fun!
Format: Hardcover
Kids will LOVE this book. I'm an adult and I LOVED this book! Try it out ... just say "stinkbird" and "superpower" to a kid and see what happens. I'm 99.9% sure that you'll be purchasing this book OR that you'll be on your way to the library. It's adorable! It's humorous! Jill Esbaum's text paired with Bob Shea's artwork make this book a true winner. Read it and revel in the fun as stinkbird's superpower is revealed.
