New year, new teachings. Mina and her brothers go live with their grandmother in a new town and learn valuable lessons when they have to adapt to their new school, make new friends and deal with situations that require caution and a lot of courage. The author Januária Alves handles with great care the issues of violence and sexual abuse faced by children and adolescents, making readers reflect upon their actions when confronted with different situations. The illustrations by Marilia Pirillo help bring a light and harmonious approach to the theme.
