“The Wild Book” is published by Nha Nam Culture and Communication Joint Stock Company in association with the Writers Association Publishing House. The work tells the story of a 13-year-old boy named Juan who has to face a terrible summer: He often has nightmares, his parents break up... Worse, during the summer vacation he has to temporarily leave his familiar home and friends to live at Uncle Tito's house - an eccentric person who lives alone in a house full of books.

The seemingly boring and lonely vacation became more and more exciting, interesting, and captivating when Juan noticed that the books in his uncle's house were not normal. They moved around stealthily when no one noticed. They changed and stole each other's content. They only appeared when they wanted to be read. It seemed that the books themselves were the masters of the library.
It becomes even more special when Juan learns about the existence of a book that has never been read, never been written, and never been published – The Wild Book. Accompanied by his new friends, Catalina, Uncle Tito, Miss Eufrosia, and three cats, Juan embarks on a journey to find a special book that is said to only come to those who are worthy. The unexpected adventure helps Juan find a precious book, and discover many wonderful things about books and life.
The story is not only attractive because of its adventure and fantasy elements, but also conveys a profound message about the value of reading, the power of imagination and the healing power of books for children's souls.
“The Wild Book” has become an international publishing phenomenon with nearly 2 million copies sold in Mexico, translated into many languages, adapted into Braille for the visually impaired and is in the process of being adapted into a film.
