Alba ha vivido siempre en el orfanato donde la abandonaron sus padres. Convive con otras niñas, pero no tiene ninguna amiga: la llaman "Pata-alambre" en vez de por su nombre y la culpan de todo lo malo que ocurre. Los castigos son parte de su rutina diaria—varazos, encierros en la celda del sótano a pan y agua—hasta el punto de que ya no recuerda cómo es una vida distinta. Pero todo cambia el día en que llega al centro un nuevo niño, Pepón, cuya amistad transformará la manera en que Alba se ve a sí misma y su futuro.

English Translation

Rascals

Alba has spent her whole life in the orphanage where her parents abandoned her. Surrounded by other girls, she has no real friends—everyone calls her "Wire-Leg" instead of her name, and she's blamed for every mishap. Punishments have become routine: daily beatings, days locked in the damp basement cell with only bread and water. Alba can hardly remember what an ordinary life feels like. But everything changes the day a new boy, Pepón, arrives at the orphanage, offering Alba an unexpected friendship that challenges everything she thought she knew about herself and her future.
