«La huida» is the young-adult novel by Antonio Martínez Menchen, published by Austral Juvenil in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
Paco runs away from home, fed up with urban routine and poor school results. He hides in a fish truck and lives through an intense two-day adventure, crossing paths with a mysterious charlatan and a mute girl, figures that seem drawn from ancient Celtic legends. The story moves from initial realism to a fantastic atmosphere.

For young readers who want a short adventure with mystery and a touch of Celtic fantasy.
