CAPITÃO MIMO

German shepherd puppy Mimo has just arrived at Nico's house. Before long, he should grow up to become the family's guard dog, despite his unintimidating name. While this doesn't happen, the boy goes to school, reads comic books, plays football, video games and explores the streets of a new neighborhood in a rural city with his friends. Until they come across a junkyard. To the inattentive eye, an abandoned land, full of useless things, that no one wants anymore. In the eyes of ten-year-old children, a territory full of possibilities. For months, they meet there to live countless adventures. Secret, of course, as the most precious things should be kept. But the relationship between the boys begins to fall apart when Nico falls out with Riva, the group's natural leader. And, during the long summer holidays, that magical place is at risk of being discovered. That's when Mimo - or Captain Mimo - reappears to save the day. In a narrative that echoes the classic stories starring children faced with the challenges of growing up, Alexandre Boide transports readers to a specific time and place, while remaining universal and timeless. A true celebration of friendship, in good times and bad.
