«Roger Ax. La divertida historia de España» is the children's and young adult novel of history and humour by Carlos García Retuerta, published by Santillana Educación in 2004 in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
Roger Ax, a young alien on a school trip, travels through Spain from the Palaeolithic to the transition and the 1978 Constitution. Among his visits are Phoenician Cádiz, Sagunto before Hannibal, Roman and Visigothic Spain, Córdoba under Abd-ar-Rahman III and the Battle of Lepanto; he also meets figures such as Alfonso X the Wise and reflects ironically on the civil war and Francoism, without understanding violence.
Part of the Blue Series of Alfaguara Juvenil, with illustrations by Ángel Luis González Romero.
Recommended for children and young adult readers who want to approach the history of Spain with humour and adventure.
