A novel with a very current topic: school bullying and prejudices. The most unexpected friendship can help you overcome your fears.

Abel is a shy boy that stutters when he talks. One afternoon while returning home from school, three kids that bully him make him enter the dilapidated house next to his home. People say that the most horrible and hideous monster in the world lives there, although nobody has seen him before. Abel discovers that this alleged monster is called Gabriel, a young man who is disproportionately gigantic due to an illness. From this moment on, Abel will stick together with the monster and their friendship will only get stronger. Gabriel helps Abel to overcome his fears and makes him see that nothing is impossible and that dreams come true. What Abel doesn’t know is that Gabriel also hides a secret that has stopped him from going out the house for the last twenty-five years.
