Teacher Comments: "La nube negra is a book full of imagination, but also reality. It uncovers the dark cloud spell that most are captivated by via technology. People forget to converse with each other and are not reading. The main character Jal Gribo leaves behind the life he knew, based on family tradition, a shoemaker, in order to fulfill his dream of becoming an editor and maker of books. He died before being able to save the world from this dark cloud. This is when the fantasy unfolds and in the end the world awakens, and it’s proven that dreams do become reality when one believes that everything is possible. It would be a good book to share with students as a springboard for discussion about the effects of technology on society."
