Summary:
"A girl named Petra Peña, who wanted nothing more than to be a storyteller, like her abuelita. But Petra's world is ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children - among them Petra and her family - have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race. Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet - and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship during its journey, bent on erasing the sins of humanity's past. They have systematically purged the memories of all aboard - or purged them altogether. Petra alone now carries the stories of our past, and with them, any hope for our future. Can she make them live again?"--Publisher's description."Una niña llamada Petra Peña que no quería otra cosa que ser cuentista, como su abuelita. Pero el mundo de Petra está llegando a su fin. La Tierra ha sido destruida por un cometa, y solo unos pocos científicos y sus hijos --entre ellos, Petra y su familia-- han sido elegidos para viajar a un nuevo planeta. Son ellos quienes garantizarán la continuidad de la raza humana. Cientos de años después, Petra despierta en el nuevo planeta y descubre que es la única persona que recuerda a la Tierra. Un siniestro Colectivo ha tomado el mando de la nave durante el viaje, empeñado en borrar los pecados pasados de la humanidad. En forma sistemática, han purgado los recuerdos de quienes se habían embarcado... o directamente los han purgado. Solo Petra atesora las historias de nuestro pasado y, con ellas, las esperanzas para nuestro futuro. ¿Podrá devolverles la vida? Donna Barba Higuera, ganadora del Premio Pura Belpré, nos ofrece un viaje brillante al mismo corazón de eso que nos hace humanos." --Publisher's description.
