Lucifer - Palma, B.

. .

Résumé :
The books in the Palo Alto adventure series are written in two languages, (not translated but written by the author, B. Palma in both languages) to help the children of two adjacent cultures understand their differences and so that students can read them in the desired language. On the odd pages the story is written in Spanish and on the even ones in English. Lucifer, the second book in the bilingual Palo Alto Adventure series describes how the young Palo Alto friends, Juanita, Pedro, Rafael, and Luisito find the secrets for taming a badly treated Olympic-level jumping horse, Lucifer. Juanita makes a new friend, Leora, daughter of an American engineer who is helping with the construction of a new factory near the Mexican town. Rafael and his horse have an accident and Pedro has the first operation on his ankle. The boys are interviewed on television showing the treasure they found in Rafael''s family''s Hacienda. Juanita''s famous equestrian cousins, Manuel and Rogelio come to help with the training of Lucifer. The four friends are invited to ride in the parade for the inauguration of the factory. Juanita and Leora, representing their respective countries, take flowers to the President of Mexico. An unexpected event almost ruins the day.
