Overview
Una conmovedora novela en verso sobre una joven que encuentra su camino de vuelta a la vida después de un accidente que lo cambia todo. De la autora de Iveliz lo explica todo, ganadora del Honor Newbery.
Pero no soy una persona que se da por vencida.
Y si hay algo que sé controlar,
es mi cuerpo;
si hay algo que sé manejar,
es a mí misma.
Todo o nada, Valentina.
It's all or nothing.
No hay nada in-between.
Nadie sabe de trabajo duro y dedicación como Valentina Camacho. Y lo de ella es la esgrima. Es la atleta estrella de su club. O lo fue… hasta el accidente.
Después de pasar meses lejos del deporte, Vale puede practicar otra vez. Pero todo es mucho más difícil que antes. Su cuerpo no se mueve igual, y hay una nueva número uno: Myrka. Cuando Myrka la deja atrás, con su forma perfecta y su sonrisa fácil, Vale no puede aceptarlo como si nada. Pero entre más duro pelea por alcanzarla, más se da cuenta de que su lesión no es lo único que la detiene. Si no puede dejar su accidente en el pasado, entonces, ¿qué le espera?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A poignant novel in verse where, after a life-changing accident, one girl finds her way back to her life’s passion. From the Newbery Honor Award-winning author of Iveliz Explains It All.
All these months of staring at the wall?
All these months of feeling weak?
It’s ending—
I’m going back to fencing.
And then it’ll be
like nothing ever happened.
No one knows hard work and dedication like Valentina Camacho. And Vale’s thing is fencing. She’s the top athlete at her fencing gym. Or she was . . . until the accident.
After months away, Vale is finally cleared to fence again, but it’s much harder than before. Her body doesn’t move the way it used to, and worst of all is the new number one: Myrka. When she sweeps Vale aside with her perfect form and easy smile, Vale just can’t accept that. But the harder Vale fights to catch up, the more she realizes her injury isn’t the only thing holding her back. If she can’t leave her accident in the past, then what does she have to look forward to?
In this moving novel from the Newbery Honor-winning author of Iveliz Explains It All, one girl finds her way back to her life’s passion and discovers that the sum of your achievements doesn’t amount to the whole of you.
