Treinta me habla de amor
by Alessandra Narváez VarelaUna niña de 13 años en Ciudad Juárez, México recibe la visita de una versión futura de ella misma de 30 años en esta novela poderosa para adultos jóvenes en verso sobre cómo manejar la depresión. A 13-year-old girl growing up in Mexico is visited by her 30-year-old future self in this powerful YA novel in verse about handling depression.De la nada, una señora se acerca a Anamaría y le dice que es ella del futuro. Pero Anamaría tiene trece años y sabe que no debe hablar con alguien que ella no conoce. Las niñas deben tener cuidado, especialmente en Ciudad Juárez, México -- son las 90's y el miedo se apodera de su querida ciudad a medida que los casos de niñas y mujeres secuestradas se vuelven comunes y horribles. Esta "futura" dama de treinta años no parece ser peligrosa, pero no deja de molestar a Anamaría, alternando entre los tontos consejos de Hallmark sobre ser amable contigo mismo y alguna charla misteriosa sobre salvar a una chica. Anamaría definitivamente no necesita que la salven, está bien. Ella trabajo duro en su escuela secundaria estricta y obsesionada con las calificaciones--trabaja tan duro que casi no duerme; tan duro que el estrés la hace criticar no solo a las chicas malas sino también a sus (pocas) amigas; tan duro que cuando finalmente duerme, sus sueños son sobre morir--pero ella solo quiere hacer lo mejor que pueda para poder crecer y tener éxito. Tal ves Treinta tiene razón, tal vez no debería estar tan agotada con su vida. ¿Pero, cómo puede pedir ayuda cuando su ciudad está de luto por la tragedia de las niñas secuestradas? Esta novela en verso que invita la reflexión llevara a lectores adultos y jóvenes a un discurso vital sobre temas importantes--cómo lidiar con la depresión y cómo reconocerla en uno mismo y en los demás--a través de la voz accesible de una niña de trece años. Out of nowhere, a lady comes up to Anamaria and says she's her, from the future. But Anamaria's thirteen, she knows better than to talk to a stranger. Girls need to be careful, especially in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico--it's the 90's and fear is overtaking her beloved city as cases of kidnapped girls and women become alarmingly common. This thirty-year-old "future" lady doesn't seem to be dangerous but she won't stop bothering her, switching between cheesy Hallmark advice about being kind to yourself, and some mysterious talk about saving a girl. Anamaria definitely doesn't need any saving, she's doing just fine. She works hard at her strict, grade-obsessed middle school--so hard that she hardly gets any sleep; so hard that the stress makes her snap not just at mean girls but even her own (few) friends; so hard that when she does sleep she dreams about dying--but she just wants to do the best she can so she can grow up to be successful. Maybe Thirty's right, maybe she's not supposed to be so exhausted with her life, but how can she ask for help when her city is mourning the much bigger tragedy of its stolen girls? This thought-provoking, moving verse novel will lead adult and young adult readers alike to vital discussions on important topics--like dealing with depression and how to recognize this in yourself and others--through the accessible voice of a thirteen-year-old girl.
