Como una marmota asustada, los shorts de gimnasia se meten en mi trasero.
¿No te gustaría leer un libro que comenzara así?
Lupe Wong quiere ser la primera mujer lanzadora en las Grandes Ligas. Durante toda su infancia, ha defendido diversas causas. Algunas, dignas . . . como la expansión de las opciones de raza en los exámenes escolares. Otras, menos dignas . . . como quejarse al canal BBC sobre la duración entre temporadas de Doctor Who.
Lupe necesita una A en todas las clases para conocer a su lanzador favorito, Fu Li Hernández, un mexi-chino como ella. ¿Qué pasa cuando el baile de country llega al gimnasio? Lupe no se quedará con los brazos cruzados.
No es para nada habitual que el debut de un libro presente a un personaje tan memorable, y con tanto humor e inteligencia emocional, come Lupe. Hasta los fanáticos del baile de country estarán de acuerdo . . .
