"Lindy has gotten used to life on the road in her parents refurbished school bus. But when the bus breaks down in San Jose, will she finally get to meet her skateboarding idol-and maybe the chance to put down roots, too? This coming of age novel explores the importance of trying new things and the community you find when you do.
Lindy doesn't love living a nomadic life with her influencer parents in their renovated RV-school bus-but she's used to it. They travel from national park to national park, where her mom creates #yogalife content. Lindy is supposed to be homeschooling, but really, she's watching her favorite skateboarder on YouTube, day to night.
When the bus breaks down in San Jose, Lindy happens to meet a few local girls who want to take her to a real, live skate park. And when they do, Lindy immediately falls in love. With skateboarding. With having friends that aren't her cat. With staying in the same place for a little while.
Lindy's parents want to get back on the road as soon as the bus is fixed-but Lindy is willing to do anything to get them to stay. Even if that means sabotage. Will they ever be able to put down roots? And will Lindy's parents ever forgive her if they do?"
"Una historia de amor transgénero.
Nadie está a gusto en su propio cuerpo. Pero Dylan siente que el suyo es demasiado. Demasiado alto, demasiado peludo, demasiado grande.
En terapia conocerá a Jamie y, por primera vez en su vida, encajará. Ella le mira como nadie lo ha hecho antes. Y cuando él la mira, ve en ella todo lo que siempre ha querido. En cambio los demás, cuando miran a Jamie, ven algo completamente distinto.
Y cuando la presenta como «su chica», sus amigos se ríen. Demasiado.
¿Somos lo que ven los demás? ¿O somos lo que queremos ser?
Reseñas:
«Spangler ha creado unos personajes cautivadores que nos ofrecen una perspectiva de la larga y dolorosa batalla de muchos adolescentes para acabar con los estereotipos y conseguir la dignidad y aceptación que merecen.»
Publishers Weekly
«Desde el principio me conquistó la narración del libro, con su ritmo ameno y fluido y la acidez, ironía y desenfado que desprende la pluma de la autora. [#] Una obra que compagina muy bien su parte más cómica y desenvuelta con los momentos más reflexivos y profundos. Una historia diferente.»

"A moving and powerful introduction to the life and art of renowned artist, Judith Scott, as told by her twin sister, Joyce Scott.
Judith Scott was born with Down syndrome. She was deaf, and never learned to speak. She was also a talented artist. Judith was institutionalized until her sister Joyce reunited with her and enrolled her in an art class. Judith went on to become an artist of renown with her work displayed in museums and galleries around the world.
Poignantly told by Joyce Scott with Brie Spangler, Unbound is inspiring and warm, showing us that we can soar beyond our perceived limitations and accomplish something extraordinary."
