Mafalda heads off on a beach vacation, where she meets a curious stranger: Miguelito, a mop-headed philosopher who happens to live right down the street back at home. Susanita, Manolito, and Felipe, meanwhile, continue to tussle over all manner of issues, romp around the neighborhood, and execute physical feats of great proportions (with the help of a bicycle and a space helmet, Felipe inaugurates the Argentinean Space Program). Only this time, Quino brings everyone together in an alien environment: elementary school. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing the heels of a beloved Book One, Mafalda is back again with her precocious political incisiveness, gags, and hijinks. Mafalda notes the peculiar effects of consumerism and globalization, the ironies of sexism, and the injustices of poverty. Her clear-sighted antiwar beliefs will inspire a new generation of thinkers and activists. All the while readers (young and old) will fall in love with Quino's drawings which evoke the humor, irritation, ponderousness, and energy of childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Quino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1962770451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781962770453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsewhere Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Quino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48454345785599,"sku":"9781962770453","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5636e35e-68bf-44be-86a9-027a7f788b6e.jpg?v=1777305663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mafalda-quino-9781962770453","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
