El tren equivocado The Wrong Train Jeremy de Quidt (text) Mercè López (illustration)

Most mermaids never live to see dry land, but Caria does —and she wishes she never had. In her mind ring echoes of her life under the sea, with seahorses and newts. But she has battles to fight on land now, and —alongside her parents— has to search for a way to reconnect with the ocean.

After realizing that he is on the wrong train, a boy who is traveling alone decides to get off at the next station. While waiting for the train that will take him home, he listens to eight stories told by a mysterious old man accompanied by a dog. The lugubrious and solitary station serves as a framework for the creepy stories that the old man tells and that leave the boy at a crossroads, from which he must find a way out.
