Summary
Novel-in-verse by an award-winning slam poet Elizabeth Acevedo, about Afro-Latina Xiomara Batista who turns to journalling poetryXiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours her frustration onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers - especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class. With Mami's determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. When she is invited to join her school's slam poetry club, she knows that she could never get around Mami's rules to attend, much less speak her words out loud. But still, she can't stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in spite of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent. -- From book jacket"Best-seller do The New York Times sobre uma adolescente que conta sua história através de uma poesia intensa, crua e poderosa. Xiomara Batista se sente sem voz e incapaz de se esconder no Harlem. Desde que seu corpo ganhou curvas, ela aprendeu a deixar os punhos e toda sua raiva falarem. E, em contraste com as regras da mãe religiosa, Xio tenta expressar suas próprias crenças através da poesia: a garota derrama toda frustração e paixão nas páginas de um caderno, recitando as palavras para si mesma como orações. Em seu romance de estreia, Elizabeth Acevedo aborda dúvidas e experiências frenquentes da adolescência - religião, relacionamento e autoaceitação -, apresentando essas questões através das lentes da herança afro-latina de Xiomara."--Amazon.com
