Shadow of a Bull
Author(s): Maia Wojciechowska
Manolo was only three when his father, the great bullfighter Juan Olivar, died. But Juan is never far from Manolo's consciousness -- how could he be, with the entire town of Arcangel waiting for the day Manolo will fulfill his father's legacy?
But Manolo has a secret he dares to share with no one -- he is a coward, without afición, the love of the sport that enables a bullfighter to rise above his fear and face a raging bull. As the day when he must enter the ring approaches, Manolo finds himself questioning which requires more courage: to follow in his father's legendary footsteps or to pursue his own destiny?
Review(s):
"This book is a must.... Anyone who starts Shadow of a Bull will finish it in a single sitting."
-- New York Times
"It is hard to imagine a child...who would not be enthralled by this book."
-- New Yorker
