Petra longs to be a cuentista, or storyteller, like her Abuelita Lita. When Halley's Comet is knocked off course by a solar flare, and its impact with earth is imminent, Petra must leave her beloved aubelita behind as they board a spacecraft bound for a far-off planet in a distant galaxy. Petra and her family are put into a stasis sleep during the 380 year journey across the stars, and when she wakes up she realizes that she is the only one who remembers life on Earth. While they were sleeping, a dangerous group called the Collective rose to power on the spacecraft, and they are intent on make sure everyone forgets the past. Can Petra's memories and her cuentos help others remember the past and save their future? Check out The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera to discover the power of Petra's cuentos!
