Editorial Siete Islas has activated the free download of the book 'The Island of Sleeping Dragons', by Ismael Lozano Latorre, on its website and has created a contest to encourage young people to read during the quarantine, all to support the #stayathome movement.
According to the Canarian publishing house, this book, which has been compulsory reading in schools and has captivated thousands of readers on the islands, can be downloaded since this Saturday.
In addition, young people can participate in an original contest where readers can win a batch of books from the publishing house and several surprise gifts donated by 'La sirena de Famara souvenirs'.
To participate in the contest, once the novel has been read, you have to send a video, as original as possible, to the publishing house, telling your impressions. The one with the most views on the publishing house's Youtube Channel on April 5 at 12.00 will be the winner of the prize.
The writer and manager of the publishing house, Ismael Lozano, has said that "it is necessary to get positive things out of everything that is happening". "And the quarantine is an opportunity to bring reading closer to the youngest in this period without classes," he commented.
