El Niño del Gallo Negro - Stefanie vor Schulte - Bog

"Since his father murdered his mother and siblings, Martin--barely eleven years old--has lived alone in a hut. His only company is a rooster that always falls asleep and forgets to sing to the sun in the morning. With him he has forged a beautiful and unbreakable friendship. His dark past leads the villagers to think he is possessed, but Martin is a boy with uncommon intelligence and a selfless inclination for good. Although bad fortune has always accompanied him, in the painter who has come from afar to restore the town's old church, Martin will find a friend who will know how to recognize both his special powers and those of his inseparable black rooster."--
