Si no te vas (Periscopio)
by Pau Joan Hernández de Fuenmayor Natalia Ribes PuignouMe llamo Lorena y no sé si tengo que decir que tenía dieciséis años y ya no los tengo, o bien que tenía dieciséis años y seguiré teniéndolos para siempre. Me llamo Lorena y llevo aproximadamente mes y medio muerta. Los lectores más expertos estarán pensando que cuando digo que estoy muerta, lo digo en sentido figurado, utilizando una metáfora exagerada y morbosa, pero de las metáforas no me va nada. A mí me gustar llamar a las cosas por su nombre y que se me entienda. Y si digo que estoy muerta, lo que quiero decir es exactamente que estoy muerta. Muerta y enterrada, para ser más precisos. Lo que ocurre es que no tengo ni idea de por qué ni para qué estoy aún aquí. Por no saber, no sé ni cómo acabé muerta...
Si no te veo antes
by Eric LindstromParker Grant no necesita usar los ojos para ver cómo eres. Por eso creó las reglas: no la trates de distinta manera por ser ciega, y NUNCA te aproveches de ella. No habrá segundas oportunidades. Si no, pregúntale a Scott Kilpatrick, el chico que le rompió el corazón. No me tomes el pelo. Nunca. Y mucho menos a costa de mi ceguera. Y muchísimo menos en público. No me ayudes a menos que te lo pida. De lo contrario, te estarás interponiendo en mi camino o molestándome. No te sorprendas. En serio. Aparte de tener los ojos siempre cerrados, soy igual que tú, solo que más lista. Cuando Parker vuelve a encontrarse con Scott años después de separarse, solo puede reaccionar de una manera: ignorándole a rabiar. Ya tiene suficiente con lo suyo: entrar en el equipo de atletismo (sus ojos no funcionan, pero sus piernas sí), aconsejar a sus ingenuos compañeros sobre sus desastres amorosos, y apuntarseun tanto por cada día que pasa sin llorar la muerte de su padre. Pero evitar el pasado es imposible y, cuanto más descubre sobre lo que ocurrió (con su padre y con Scott), más empieza a preguntarse si las cosas son como parecen. Quizá hay reglas que podemos saltarnos de vez en cuando, ¿no? Con una historia cautivadora y optimista, y una protagonista arrebatadora, Si no te veo antes ilumina los puntos ciegos que todos tenemos en la vida.

Side by Side: US Empire, Puerto Rico, and the Roots of American Youth Literature and Culture (Children's Literature Association Series)
by Marilisa Jiménez GarcíaWinner of the Children’s Literature Association’s 2023 Book AwardDuring the early colonial encounter, children’s books were among the first kinds of literature produced by US writers introducing the new colony, its people, and the US’s role as a twentieth-century colonial power to the public. Subsequently, youth literature and media were important tools of Puerto Rican cultural and educational elite institutions and Puerto Rican revolutionary thought as a means of negotiating US assimilation and upholding a strong Latin American, Caribbean national stance. In Side by Side: US Empire, Puerto Rico, and the Roots of American Youth Literature and Culture, author Marilisa Jiménez García focuses on the contributions of the Puerto Rican community to American youth, approaching Latinx literature as a transnational space that provides a critical lens for examining the lingering consequences of US and Spanish colonialism for US communities of color. Through analysis of texts typically outside traditional Latinx or literary studies such as young adult literature, textbooks, television programming, comics, music, curriculum, and youth movements, Side by Side represents the only comprehensive study of the contributions of Puerto Ricans to American youth literature and culture, as well as the only comprehensive study into the role of youth literature and culture in Puerto Rican literature and thought. Considering recent debates over diversity in children’s and young adult literature and media and the strained relationship between Puerto Rico and the US, Jiménez García's timely work encourages us to question who constitutes the expert and to resist the homogenization of Latinxs, as well as other marginalized communities, that has led to the erasure of writers, scholars, and artists.

Siempre nos estamos yendo

Muchos muros han dividido tierras. Uno divide de pronto la vida de Zinnia. Sin opción, la familia huye, migra para encontrar dónde echar nuevas raíces y vivir en paz. De una a otra casa, de un país a otro, del camino a un campamento para refugiados, y luego un gran incendio y otra huida más, y van tantas... Zinnia se aferra a su hermana Jaz y a su historia. Contar quiénes son le permite recordar de dónde vienen y recuperar la fuerza para cruzar nuevos muros.
