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.
