I cannot think of a more daunting book to translate into Portuguese (or any other language, for that matter).

A close up of a Pokémon Go screen shot, showing the user avatar’s face above a score meter and user name. The avatar’s face and hat have turned completely flat black, and the hair has turned flat grey.
