«La maravillosa granja de McBroom» is the children's humour and adventure book by Sid Fleischman, published by Alfaguara in paperback (90 pages, in Spanish).
Josh McBroom, his wife Melisa and their eleven red-haired children live on a tiny and prodigious farm where the strangest events occur. The book brings together three humorous adventures narrated as folk tales, with exaggerations and peculiar characters, turning country life into a succession of mix-ups.
It belongs to the Adventures of McBroom series and is illustrated by Quentin Blake; Sid Fleischman won the Mark Twain Prize in 1977.
For children and young readers who enjoy the humour and adventures of a very peculiar family.
