The writer has defined his own novel "Ask the Moon 'as a story of a social and realistic, always with his feet on the ground.
I think that literature must have some role in our lives and one of them is talking about the worst side of ourselves.
The literature should be reflected in the mirror and show worse surely not what we show, said Santos.
In this sense, the novel speaks of bullying, morally reprehensible character and facing their problems, a main character to the limit and very complicated personal relationships.
Although the end is always the hope of starting a new life, as explained Eugenia Perez, one of the promoters of the project.
The dark side of life, that dark side that shows the writer in his book is what she thinks will appeal to youngsters.
Teenagers are always stressing the educational literature.
The books are many other things besides education, and they are interested in other things, like drugs, sex ...
that pass through the side less 'white' of life.
Care Santos has admitted that likes to provoke and entertain young people.
I always tell them they have to find a book that will engage, they do not let them sleep, as a lover.
