A new genre of children's literature
A wonderful book that captivates families and dazzles the lovers of one of the most famous rock
bands of all time: Guns N' Roses.
An original story, with amusing segments, that awakens in a startling way the interest for rock music in boys and girls.
Throughout the book, adults can identify references to the rock band Guns N' Roses and share them with the children; from songs to characters like Axl, Slash and Duff McKagan.
In addition, this reading brings out the value of cooperation and joins two of the elements that fascinate children: trolls and orphans.
Sinopsis
Welcome to Axl and The Magic Garden
Have you ever seen a snark gobbling up food? Snarks are troll-faced caterpillars and have a huge appetite for destruction, especially when it comes to gardens with delicious fruits and vegetables that are not theirs.
Its leader is red-headed, wears White sneakers and has a bandana tied around his head. Yes ... His name is Axl. Snarks destroy everything they can find, but there is still an amazing magic
garden they don’t know about.

Authors
Geraldine García Collins (1977) has a degree in Law and Business Studies and lives in Barcelona
with her husband and two daughters.
It was Geraldine’s greatest wish to share her love of rock music with her daughters, and so she
began to write children's stories with imaginary characters inspired by rock artists. She found that
when her young daughters listened to rock music on the radio, they could identify the songs with
the characters and joined in with the music. Her story of ‘Axl and the Magic Garden’ is filled with
the inspiration she gained from her favourite rock band 'Guns N’ Roses. Geraldine feels that this
story is a fine way for new generations to be introduced to rock music and to spark the interest in
this amazing music genre
Namibia Coronado (1990) studied Fine Arts and Advertising Graphics, and she currently lives in
Tarragona. She finds her inspiration in nature, especially from flowers and plants. She observes
and understands them, then shapes them with strength and a unique personality. Furthermore, she
does not stop searching for new textures that surprise the viewer, and if you ask her about the
technique she is using, she will answer you with a smile.
