Differing the canonical scientific spreading from the non-canonical scientific spreading, this study makes analysis of the narratives present in non-canonical works of literature. It was possible to localize one narrative option through the creative imagination, the human capacity and its creative potentiality, elements which are, in this case, fundamental motivations for the reflection about human life and also about science. In particular the work Meninos da Planície, Cástor Cartelle, 2001, was possible to suppose a likely contribution to the renewal of science teaching in the selected works, because its centrality remains over the reflection about the humanizing of the subjects and not over the transmission of science contents, although such dimension, the one of scientific formation, is undoubtedly present, without any harm.
