School Library Journal Starred Review (Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 CDT 2023)

Gr 6 Up— Twelve-year-old Iveliz shares her thoughts and feelings about various loved ones in her diary: her sometimes rocky relationship with Mami, close and supportive friendship with Amir, excitement about Mimi coming to live with them from Puerto Rico, and close relationship with Papi. However, Iveliz has several anxiety-inducing pressures weighing down on her. Mimi is struggling with Alzheimer's, and Papi is gone after a tragic accident that Iveliz blames herself for. Even though she has been taking medication and attending therapy, Iveliz remains full of guilt, and at times sees and talks to her father. At school, Amir is her truest friend, as Iveliz is often targeted by fellow classmates and finds herself in trouble. Iveliz tries to move forward and tell herself everything is okay, but also bottles up her thoughts and feelings. When they threaten to bubble up and Iveliz comes close to harming herself, she finally shares with her therapist and accepts his help. Written in lyrical Spanish verse, this middle grade novel with heavy themes will make readers' hearts skip a beat when they realize what is truly going on with Iveliz and Papi, and as they witness Iveliz struggling with guilt and depression. The realities and pain of loss, grief, and witnessing a loved one lose their memories are palpable, as are the difficulties of wanting to share one's emotions but struggling to do so. VERDICT This heartfelt novel will open up the way for important discussions on mental health, and is a necessary and important choice for middle grade Spanish collections.— Selenia Paz

Libro de Honor Newbery

Libro ganador del premio Junior Library Guild Gold Selection 2023

¿Cómo expresarte cuando sientes que nadie te escucha? En esta conmovedora novela en verso ̶ que Lisa Fipps, autora galardonada con un Printz Honor Award, llama “potente” ̶ , una niña enfrenta su segundo año de escuela intermedia mientras lidia con problemas de salud mental. Deberá encontrar la manera de usar su voz para pedir la ayuda y la comprensión que merece.

Porque, oye:
¿El final de la elemental?
La peor etapa de mi vida.
¿Y el inicio de la intermedia?
Yo no estaba del todo bien.

Pero ¿este año?
YO VOY A MÍ.

El séptimo grado será el año de Iveliz. Hará nuevos amigos, ayudará a su abuela Mimi a sentirse como en casa luego de mudarse de Puerto Rico y no se meterá en más líos en la escuela…

Pero, ¿es eso lo que sucede? Por supuesto que no. No importa cuánto se esfuerce Iveliz, a veces la gente dice cosas que la enfurecen tanto. Lo que es peor, Mimi sigue diciendo que la medicina de Iveliz no es necesaria, aun cuando la ayuda a sentirse menos triste. ¿Cómo le explicas a otros tus sentimientos cuando ni siquiera estás segura de lo que estás sintiendo?

Potente y empático, el debut de Andrea Beatriz Arango navega la salud mental, cómo encontrar tu voz y el descubrimiento de que, quienes realmente te aman, permanecerán a tu lado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A Newbery Honor Book

Winner of the Junior Library Guild Gold Selection Prize 2023

How do you speak up when it feels like no one is listening? In this moving novel in verse that Printz Honor-winning author Lisa Fipps calls “powerful,” one girl takes on seventh grade while facing mental health challenges, and must find her voice to advocate for the help and understanding she deserves.

Listen up:
The end of elementary school?
Worst time of my life.
And the start of middle school?
I just wasn’t quite right.
But this year?
YO VOY A MI.

Seventh grade is going to be Iveliz’s year. She’s going to make a new friend, help her abuela Mimi get settled after moving from Puerto Rico, and she is not going to get into any more trouble at school…

Except is that what happens? Of course not. Because no matter how hard Iveliz tries, sometimes people say things that just make her so mad. And worse, Mimi keeps saying Iveliz’s medicine is unnecessary—even though it helps Iveliz feel less sad. But how do you explain your feelings to others when you’re not even sure what’s going on yourself?

Powerful and compassionate, Andrea Beatriz Arango’s debut navigates mental health, finding your voice, and discovering that those who really love you will stay by your side.
