It's 1962 and the message from President Kennedy's Committee on the Status of Women isn't well received in her conservative community. Lorena plays the roles expected of a good girl. She's Lorena to her teachers, Lor to her friends, and Reenie to her Dad. She can't make her parents understand why she doesn't want the traditional role of teacher, nurse, or secretary like her older two sisters do. Her cousin Ronnie understands her dreams, but her best friend Carly is so confident of Lor's abilities in science, band, school, and life that she doesn't really listen to her worries. Then Lorena's home burns and Carly gets sent to Oklahoma to help an elderly aunt. Carly has an emergency appendectomy - except community gossip says something else, something too awful to name. Lor deals with so many crises she's about to give up on her dream when help comes from a totally unexpected source. Never in her wildest imagination would she have predicted the end of the crazy, rad summer of 1962.?

Una antologia dels millors contes per a infants i joves de Joaquim Carbó, triats per l'autor, amb deu contes inèdits. Des de la fundació de la revista Cavall Fort, l'any 1961, Joaquim Carbó no ha parat d'escriure contes per als més menuts i els que ja no ho són tant. Pel camí s'ha convertit en l'autor de literatura infantil i juvenil més important per a unes quantes generacions (qui no ha llegit La casa sota la sorra?, sense anar més lluny), i la seva ploma no s'atura. Aquest recull combina la tria d'autor, per deixar constància d'aquests gairebé seixanta anys de publicacions, i contes inèdits, perquè Carbó és un autor que no ha deixat mai d'escriure i de generar nous lectors. El deute del país amb els autors que, com ell, van normalitzar la literatura catalana entre els joves d'una època de foscor cultural absoluta, és d'una magnitud enorme; la millor manera d'agrair-los aquesta tasca és llegir-los.
