2 Llibres trobats
Tokuda-Hall, Maggie
Cuando Becca entra en una nueva escuela elitista, nunca espera llamar la atención de las chicas más populares. Tampoco espera que la inviten a su exclusivo grupo. Pero lo hacen. Le enseñan cómo vestirse, cómo actuar y a qué fiestas debe asistir. Hasta que, en una noche de luna llena, le revelan su secreto: son chicas lobas. Aquí es cuando una persona normal huiría gritando, pero Becca no huye, ni grita, ni quiere escapar. Quiere pertenecer. Y, ahora que forma parte, se siente como una persona nueva. Todo es perfecto. durante un tiempo, al menos. Pero cuando un chico llamado Thatcher muere, las cosas se complican.

Tokuda-Hall, Maggie
Set in an incarceration camp where the United States cruelly detained Japanese Americans during WWII and based on true events, this moving love story finds hope in heartbreak.To fall in love is already a gift. But to fall in love in a place like Minidoka, a place built to make people feel like they weren’t human—that was miraculous.After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Tama is sent to live in a War Relocation Center in the desert. All Japanese Americans from the West Coast—elderly people, children, babies—now live in prison camps like Minodoka. To be who she is has become a crime, it seems, and Tama doesn’t know when or if she will ever leave. Trying not to think of the life she once had, she works in the camp’s tiny library, taking solace in pages bursting with color and light, love and fairness. And she isn’t the only one. George waits each morning by the door, his arms piled with books checked out the day before. As their friendship grows, Tama wonders: Can anyone possibly read so much? Is she the reason George comes to the library every day? Maggie Tokuda-Hall’s beautifully illustrated, elegant love story features a photo of the real Tama and George—the author’s grandparents—along with an afterword and other back matter for readers to learn more about a time in our history that continues to resonate.
