EL EXTRAÑO CASO DE LAS RIMAS AUTOMÁTICAS

When two inseparable friends — as different as fire and water — sneak a taste of a strange new drink, they start speaking only in rhymes. At first, it's fun. Then it's awkward. Then it's dangerous. Teachers think they're being cheeky. Classmates laugh. But the truth is far weirder: they've been affected by a bizarre invention created by a brilliant but overworked scientist employed by a ruthless soft-drink tycoon.

As more and more children become infected, the rhyming spreads like wildfire, and the situation turns critical. If the antidote isn't found soon, their brains might literally explode. Will the scientist find a cure in time? And what price will he pay for standing up to a system that profits from addiction?

An intelligent and funny story, a satire which brings forth social criticism against irresponsible consumption, this book empowers linguistic creativity and the value of reading classics.
