There lived a girl named Petra Peña, who wanted nothing more than to be a storyteller, like her abuelita. But Petra's world is ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children – among them Petra and her family – have been chosen to journey to a new planet. In Donna Barbara Higuera’s The Last Cuentista, this powerful story of memory, hope, and resilience invites readers to explore the importance of storytelling as a way to preserve culture and identity. At Dragonfly Bookstore, we are proud to offer this remarkable novel that sparks imagination and honors the power of voices that carry forward humanity’s enduring hum.
