En un isla no muy lejana, en una época no muy distante, había una tribu de criaturas llamadas ciguapas. Vivían en frescas cuevas azules en el fondo del mar y salían a la tierra solamente de noche en busca de alimentos. Afortunadamente, tenían un secreto que las protegía de los seres humanos: tenían los pies al revés, así nadie podía seguirles las huellas. Pero una vez, casi descubren su secreto . . .
 
La galardonado escritora Julia Alvarez teje un cuento mágico sobre una valiente y aguerrida ciguapa llamada Guapa, cuya curiosidad y gusto por los mangos y los pastelitos—casi le cuesta la libertad a su tribu. Complementado por las exquisitas ilustraciones de Fabian Negrin, este cautivador relato, basado en una leyenda dominicana, permanecerá en el recuerdo del lector.

      This is a Spanish edition of Alvarez's "The Secret Footprints", a retelling based on a Dominican folktale about a tribe of people whose feet point backward so as not to reveal their location. The translation is nicely done, and the language provides a real sense of the storytelling tradition. The vibrantly colored illustrations give the tale both a sense of place and a dreamlike quality.
