Living in a house with a garden is a dream come true for Alex-the perfect place for endless football matches. But nothing beats a trip to the park with his friends! There's just one catch: if Alex wants to go out this Saturday, he has to clean his room first. And that is the last thing he wants to do.
But Alex has a secret weapon hidden in a wooden case: Pop, a tireless magical sprite known as a 'manairo' who only asks one thing: 'What shall we do? What shall we say?'. It sounds like the perfect plan-let someone else do the work while he goes to play! However, Alex is about to learn that magical sprites take instructions very literally.
When he gets back, his room will certainly be 'cleaned'... but not quite how he imagined.
A charming and hilarious tale about chores, the consequences of our decisions, and the ancient magic of the Pyrenees.
