Always remember, you can do it, you can shoot for the highest star and make it, with the support of friends, who become your family. This Novel in Verse pulled me and and didn’t let me go. It almost shattered me, so raw but so truthful. Soccer saves Ceti along with her friends, those who she was afraid to open up to. This book tells the reader it’s ok to talk, to let people in. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! This one is going into my library collection asap! ( ) The effects of Ceti living with a momma strung out on drugs are disturbing and emotional but, like real life, there are gaps of lighter moments. Soccer is one of the only things that makes Ceti feel free. Narrative voice was very good, but some choices of the story were questionable. Pretty depressing overall. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

It is impossible not to root for Ceti, almost fifteen, who tells her story of growing up in shelters, learning soccer from her Gramps, and sleeping in her Mom's red truck where they listened over and over to Rolling Stones discs someone left behind. Following in the steps of her hero, Lionel Messi, Ceti is a shooting star on the field. A U.S. scout is coming to watch her play in the State Championship; she has Ruby, her best friend since kindergarten rooting for her, and a crush on a boy who lives in her building, Will. But at home, she'll find a spoon in the sink, a ball of tin foil and a needle in the trash. Her Mom, who used to be beautiful with her long honey hair and green eyes is now wasted and track-marked. And she is pregnant. Ceti's life goes up and down with a mother who wants only the next high. Her Mom's menacing and goofy boyfriend Foxface is always hounding Ceti; their junky friends start a fire in Ceti's apartment; and on the day of the semifinals, Ceti finds her Mom bleeding profusely. She steals a new iPhone for her Mom but is caught and disqualified from playing in the Championship game. Then Ruby decides on private school for next year, and Will stops hanging out with Ceti. When her Mom promises they can start over in New Hampshire, Ceti is hopeful. Instead, she finds her Mom has overdosed. Ceti, too, would be one more dream slipping away if she didn't have the courage to hold on to what she loves the most. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
