¿Cómo expresarte cuando sientes que nadie te escucha? En esta conmovedora novela en verso que Lisa Fipps, la autora galardonada con un premio de honor Printz, llama "potente", una niña enfrenta el primer año de secundaria mientras lidia con problemas de salud mental y debe encontrar su propia voz para pedir la ayuda y la comprensión que merece.

Porque, oye:

¿El final de la elemental?

La peor etapa de mi vida.

¿Y el inicio de la intermedia?

Yo no estaba del todo bien.

Pero ¿este año?

YO VOY A MÍ.

El séptimo grado será el año de Iveliz. Hará nuevos amigos, ayudará a su abuela Mimi a sentirse como en casa luego de mudarse de Puerto Rico y no se meterá en más líos en la escuela...

Pero, ¿es eso lo que sucede? Por supuesto que no. No importa cuánto se esfuerce Iveliz, a veces la gente dice cosas que la enfurecen tanto. Lo que es peor, Mimi sigue diciendo que la medicina de Iveliz no es necesaria, aun cuando la ayuda a sentirse menos triste. ¿Cómo le explicas a otros tus sentimientos cuando ni siquiera estás segura de lo que estás sintiendo?

Potente y empático, el debut de Andrea Beatriz Arango navega la salud mental, cómo encontrar tu voz y el descubrimiento de que, quienes realmente te aman, permanecerán a tu lado.

      Starred review from June 1, 2023

      Gr 6 Up-Twelve-year-old Iveliz shares her thoughts and feelings about various loved ones in her diary: her sometimes rocky relationship with Mami, close and supportive friendship with Amir, excitement about Mimi coming to live with them from Puerto Rico, and close relationship with Papi. However, Iveliz has several anxiety-inducing pressures weighing down on her. Mimi is struggling with Alzheimer's, and Papi is gone after a tragic accident that Iveliz blames herself for. Even though she has been taking medication and attending therapy, Iveliz remains full of guilt, and at times sees and talks to her father. At school, Amir is her truest friend, as Iveliz is often targeted by fellow classmates and finds herself in trouble. Iveliz tries to move forward and tell herself everything is okay, but also bottles up her thoughts and feelings. When they threaten to bubble up and Iveliz comes close to harming herself, she finally shares with her therapist and accepts his help. Written in lyrical Spanish verse, this middle grade novel with heavy themes will make readers' hearts skip a beat when they realize what is truly going on with Iveliz and Papi, and as they witness Iveliz struggling with guilt and depression. The realities and pain of loss, grief, and witnessing a loved one lose their memories are palpable, as are the difficulties of wanting to share one's emotions but struggling to do so. VERDICT This heartfelt novel will open up the way for important discussions on mental health, and is a necessary and important choice for middle grade Spanish collections.-Selenia Paz
