Your favorite nighttime reading adventure The Nocturnals: The Mysterious Abductions by Tracey Hecht is now in Spanish! The Nocturnals: Las desapariciones misteriosas was translated by Sylvia Aguilar-Zéleny, an award-winning bilingual author and translator.

Los nocturnos es una divertida serie de libros por capítulos que sigue a tres singulares animales que resuelven misterios mediante la amistad, el trabajo en equipo y el humor. Con una estructura de capítulos breves y accesibles, esta serie se caracteriza por sus ilustraciones así como la presencia de animales en peligro de extinción y temas ecológicos.

En Las desapariciones misteriosas, los animales están desapareciendo sin dejar rastro, y depende de Dawn, una zorra sensata, de Tobin, un dulce pangolín y de Bismark, un pequeño petauro del azúcar, descubrir qué está ocurriendo. Con la ayuda de una amable wómbat, un nervioso jerbo, una manada de coyotes y unos murciélagos muy simpáticos, la brigada de animales nocturnos se adentra en las profundidades de la tierra y participa en un juego disparatado y de alto riesgo del que dependerá su supervivencia.

What People are Saying: 

Advance Praise from Spanish Industry Readers:
“The book reads as if it was written originally in Spanish and the dialogue flows naturally (including onomatopoeias and puns). Another strength of the text is its inclusion of in-depth learning about Australia’s flora and fauna. This can be especially appealing to curious readers who want to learn about other parts of the world.”
— Sergio Zepeda, Children’s Book Editor, Mexico City, Mexico

“This amazing fictional adventure implements the Spanish language in such a way that it is an easy read while encountering academic science vocabulary and non-stop engaging dialogue. In depth conversations involving the characters and their personalities while trying to solve the mystery can easily be held in a classroom or at bedtime.”
—Ivelisse Jimenez, Elementary School Bilingual Teacher, Niles, IL

“I love how the book is more than an adventure--students are given background facts about each animal, making the story both engaging and educational. I really appreciated how naturally the author blends storytelling and learning into one enjoyable read.”
—Carolina Gomez, Fun for Spanish Teachers, Boston, MA

“I thought this book was great! It was fun to read, and I genuinely enjoyed it. I loved the characters, and I really appreciated how it introduced STEM topics subtly, without feeling overly didactic. The ending had me excited for the group’s next adventure.”
—Judith, Children’s Marketer, New York City, NY
