«Las sombras crecen al atardecer» is the second young adult novel by Henning Mankell featuring Joel, published by Siruela in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
Joel, the same boy from «El perro que corría hacia una estrella», escapes unharmed after being run over and interprets it as a miracle he must repay with a good deed. His determination leads him to cross paths with characters like Gertrud, the Noseless Woman, or Simón Tempestad, in an adventure where he discovers that things don't always turn out as one expects.
It is the second installment in the Joel Gustafsson young adult series. The book belongs to the Las Tres Edades collection (no. 88) from Siruela.
Aimed at young readers from around 13 years old who want to approach Mankell's narrative outside his crime novels.
Henning Georg Mankell was a Swedish crime writer, children's author, and dramatist, best known for a series of mystery novels starring his most noted creation, Inspector Kurt Wallander. He also wrote a number of plays and screenplays for television.
