AGUS & MONSTERS

5TH BIRTHDAY!

th anniversary

Dear Publisher, We have been feeding readers for the past 30 years!

And maybe children from those times are now parents themselves who are also keen to instil a love of reading in their children with something from our catalogue.

Among these new early readers, how could you not want them to be faithful followers of the series Agus & Monsters?

Jaume Copons and Liliana Fortuny have created such fun and well-loved characters that this collection has become quite a phenomenon: 17 titles and very fast-paced publication.

Thousands of avid readers eagerly await new titles, not just at home but around the world. Agus has decided to travel the world and speaks to us in 18 languages!

We are proud to celebrate the fact that Agus Pianola, Mr. Flat and his unconditional monster friends have been with us for the last five years!

Over this time we have successfully risen to a phenomenal challenge: to transform unmotivated children, labelled as “non-readers”, into voracious readers who are hungry for more adventures.

Because the experience of reading with a sense of freedom and for pleasure brings about something wonderful, and everything we absorb takes root in us forever.

We know for sure that the quality of children’s experiences that they receive through books helps sketch out their inner riches and reading tastes in the future.

Let’s create, then, books of all kinds, to play with, sing with, laugh with; telling them tales and reading them stories... For the past 30 years, as in the coming years, we are excited to help you raise a new “Combel generation”!

Noemí Mercadé Editorial Director

th anniversary Agus & Monsters My name is Agus Pianola. You didn’t know this, but sooner or later we were bound to be friends. Until recently I was a rather normal kid: I went to school, lost my homework, wolfed down pizza… But the day I met Mr Flat, everything changed.

Ah, of course. You still don’t know who Ms Flat is, do you? I’ll just tell you that he’s a monster and that ever since he moved into my room, the world is not only more fun, but it’s also a better place. Better, but with tons of trouble!

Do not Say Bad Words!

There are cheeky children who absorb all the swear words and curses that adults say. They imitate them, because they think it’s funny or it makes them feel grownup. They still don’t know that these bad words are not polite and that it is better not to say them because they can offend people. This story places a focus on grownups in the family who swear a lot, and we help chil-

The Dangerous Herd Blança Marçal has been a high school teacher all her life. Now about to retire, she looks back and takes stock of her career. She has had successes, but she has also made some mistakes.

Many pupils have passed through her class, some of them quite problematic. But there is one she will never forget: she still remembers the day she first noticed the boy sitting at the end of the second row, Mirko Lloberes...

The misfits are also those who fight tirelessly and go against the tide so that everything turns out all right.

Synchronicity The year 2070. In an extremely competitive society, contact football is the favourite sport and the government of CIMA uses it to entertain and manipulate people. Dr. Bormand, director of a prestigious research centre in the pay of CIMA, has designed chips that are implanted in a footballer’s body and allow him to anticipate an opponent’s reaction by a few seconds.

This is what is known as synchronicity. The problem is that these chips have not been tested properly and can cause terrible side effects.
