A powerful, #ownvoices contemporary YA for fans of The Poet X and I
Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter set in Argentina, about a
rising soccer star who must put everything on the line--even her
blooming love story--to follow her dreams. In Rosario, Argentina,
Camila Hassan lives a double life. At home, she is a careful
daughter, living within her mother's narrow expectations, in her
rising-soccer-star brother's shadow, and under the abusive rule of
her short-tempered father. On the field, she is La Furia, a
powerhouse of skill and talent. When her team qualifies for the
South American tournament, Camila gets the chance to see just how
far those talents can take her. In her wildest dreams, she'd get an
athletic scholarship to a North American university. But the path
ahead isn't easy. Her parents don't know about her passion. They
wouldn't allow a girl to play futbol--and she needs their
permission to go any farther. And the boy she once loved is back in
town. Since he left, Diego has become an international star,
playing in Italy for the renowned team Juventus. Camila doesn't
have time to be distracted by her feelings for him. Things aren't
the same as when he left: she has her own passions and ambitions
now, and La Furia cannot be denied. As her life becomes more
complicated, Camila is forced to face her secrets and make her way
in a world with no place for the dreams and ambition of a girl like
her. Filled with authentic details and the textures of day-to-day
life in Argentina, heart-soaring romance, and breathless action on
the pitch, Furia is the story of a girl's journey to make her life
her own.
