Description

Diana tiene quince años y está enojada todo el tiempo. Sus padres no la comprenden y su hermano quedó paralítico en un accidente del que ella salió ilesa. Diana está segura de que sus padres desearían que ella fuera la que estuviera en silla de ruedas. Cuando las peleas y las acusaciones la sobrepasan, Diana se muda con su hermano. Pero los problemas la siguen. Si Diana no entiende que tiene que empezar a responsabilizarse de sus actos, nada va a cambiar.

Disponible en inglés: Kicked Out.

Excerpt: Ni un dia más: (Kicked Out) (by (author) Beth Goobie)

—Diana, ésta es nuestra casa y nosotros ponemos las reglas. ¡Si te decimos que tienes que estar de regreso a las nueve, ésa es la hora de entrar por la puerta! No hay nada más que hablar —gritó.
Su casa, no li mía, pensé. Por un momento me ardieron los ojos y pensé que iba a llorar, pero logré controlarme, sonreí y dije bajito mirándolo a los ojos:
—Trata de oligarme.

Editorial Reviews

"Appropriate for reluctant native Spanish readers, especially appealing to females. For students learning Spanish, this title is appropriate for strong second year students and beyond."

Library Media Connection

"Apropiado para lectores nativos de español reacios, especialmente atractivo para mujeres. También es adecuado para estudiantes con un buen nivel en su segundo año de español y posteriores".
