Synopsis "The Cardturner (in English)"

"The Newbery-winning author of Holes fulfills a need the world probably didn't even know it had . . . for smart and puzzle-minded teens . . ."—BooklistThe summer after junior year of high school looks bleak for Alton Richards. His girlfriend has dumped him, he has no money and no job, and his parents insist that he drive his great-uncle Lester, who is old, blind, very sick, and very rich, to his bridge club four times a week and be his cardturner.      But Alton's parents aren't the only ones trying to worm their way into Lester Trapp's good graces. There is Trapp's longtime housekeeper, his alluring young nurse, and the crazy Castaneda family.     Alton soon finds himself intrigued by his uncle, by the game of bridge, and especially by the pretty and shy Toni Castaneda, as he struggles to figure out what it all means, and ultimately to figure out the meaning of his own life.

Louis Sachar nació 20 de marzo de 1954 en Nueva York. Cuando estaba en la Facultad de Económicas dio unas clases por casualidad en una escuela. Allí descubrió dos cosas: que disfrutaba con las clases y que no le gustaban los libros que los chicos tenían que leer. Esto desarrolló en él el germen del escritor que con el tiempo pudo y supo poner en práctica. Terminó Económicas y comenzó a estudiar Derecho. Mientras, hizo algunas incursiones en literatura infantil y juvenil. Saltó a la fama definitivamente en 1998 por su libro Hoyos, por el que recibió El Premio Nacional de Literatura Juvenil y la Newbery Medal, el máximo galardón que se otorga a un autor de literatura infantil y juvenil en Estados Unidos. Después de esto pudo dejar la abogacía y dedicarse a lo que realmente le gustaba: escribir. En 2003 Hoyos fue llevada al cine: Holes, la maldición de los hoyos, donde él mismo se encargó de realizar el guión.
