Cuatro estrellas y media

Nora Kelly arrives in Málaga with a summer job, a rented room and a sensible plan. Within a few hours, she has lost one of those three things.

The room she paid for does not exist.

Alone in a new city and unsure who to trust, Nora finds temporary refuge at the Hotel Miramar, where she also begins working. But life at the hotel is far from straightforward. Reservations disappear, guests complain, money goes missing and everyone seems to know more than they are saying. Even the lift behaves as if it has had enough.

Then there is Dani. Helpful, funny and slightly mysterious, he soon gives Nora another reason to question her carefully organised plans.

Set in contemporary Málaga, Cuatro estrellas y media combines humour, intrigue and romance with real issues affecting life in Spain, including tourism, housing and insecure work. The story is written in clear, natural Spanish for B1-B2 learners, with short chapters and enough support to help readers follow the plot without interrupting the pleasure of reading.

The book includes:

• Fourteen chapters
• Short comprehension and prediction activities
• Useful everyday expressions
• A glossary for B1 learners
• Brief suggested answers

Ideal for students who want to improve their Spanish through a story they will want to finish.
