What is it about?
Lola the fly is enjoying an apparently normal day when she discovers an unexpected treasure: a large, appetizing poop. Without hesitation, she lands on it and declares it her property. However, her tranquility is interrupted by the arrival of Fiona the fly, who also claims the same loot. The two flies engage in a heated argument that soon escalates into an authentic war dance, full of twists, turns, and threats. The reader witnesses a duel of wit and determination as the protagonists try to prove who has more right to the succulent find.

Editorial review
A bold and fun proposal within children's literature that uses a scatological theme to talk about something as universal as fighting over a desired object. Gusti manages to maintain interest throughout the pages with an agile text and illustrations that reinforce the comic and theatrical tone of the story. It is a book that does not shy away from simple humor, but uses it intelligently so that little ones can reflect on the importance of sharing and dialogue. A success for those looking for readings that provoke laughter and, incidentally, conversation.
