Autor: ELIA BARCELÓ ESTEVE

Best books for children and young reader's 2010. Banco del Libro Venezuela All of the knights of the Order of San Juan are heading for Malta to defend it from the Turkish invasion in the name of Christianity. Knight Diego Miranda also answers the call accompanied by his young serf Juan. Juan had never left his village in Castile and so to him, everything is captivating: to see the sea for the first time, sail in a galley, the Maltese women? although Juan won?t have much time to enjoy such pleasures, since the Arab incursions are increasingly devastating and the Christian forces are fast diminishing. A magnificent novel which masterfully recounts the events that occurred in Malta during the Turkish siege of the 16th century.
