De aquí a la Luna: Una historia de amor más allá de la enfermedad
by Adolessence VoluntariosNo te pierdas la increíble historia de Rodrigo y Rocío, los fundadores del proyecto de voluntariado Adolessence. Hay amores capaces de superar cualquier dificultad. Las almas gemelas funcionan así, saben que no hace falta ser una estrella para brillar. «¿Cuánto tiempo me queda?» es lo primero que le viene a la mente a Rodrigo cuando su traumatóloga le informa de que el tumor de su rodilla es maligno. Solo tiene diecisiete años y nadie ha pronunciado todavía la palabra «cáncer», pero intuye que su futuro se ha vuelto de repente negro, muy negro. Rodrigo tiene a su lado a su familia, a sus amigos y, sobre todo, a Rocío, el amor de su vida, su alma gemela. El cáncer pondrá a prueba su relación, pero siempre juntos, contra viento y marea, aprenderán a valorar las pequeñas cosas de la vida, porque cada día está lleno de sabiduría, aunque la mayoría de las veces no nos demos cuenta. Sobre los autores«Rocío y Rodrigo se conocían desde la guardería. Pero con 16 años un encuentro providencial en el metro hace que comience una historia de amor. Y del de verdad. Lejos de las películas románticas y cursis, son una pareja normal y corriente, hasta que llega la prueba. Sin ser todavía mayor de edad, a Rodrigo le detectan un osteosarcoma -un cáncer de hueso- en la rodilla. Comienza un duro y largo camino de enfermedad, en el que tanto Rodrigo, como su novia Rocío, eligen vivirlo de una forma distinta. Rodrigo celebra una fiesta el día que se afeita la cabeza por primera vez ante la falta de cabello. Y Rocío no falta ni un solo día a su cita en el hospital con su novio. Hoy su historia y su ejemplo nos habla del amor maduro y de cómo afrontar el sufrimiento con alegría. Un testimonio viral que da su fruto en un proyecto de voluntariado para y por los jóvenes titulado Adolessence.»Javier González, amigo y periodista.

España no es solo blanca
by AfropoderossaUN LIBRO NECESARIO Y COMBATIVO QUE ASPIRA A CAMBIAR LA PERCEPCIÓN QUE TENEMOS DE LA HISTORIA DE TODO UN PAÍS. ESPAÑA TAMBIÉN ES NEGRA. Como sor Chikaba, la primera mujer negra en escribir en una lengua europea. Como Juan Latino, la primera persona negra que cursó estudios universitarios en Europa. Como Rosalía Gómez y Cándida Jiménez, las últimas mujeres esclavizadas en territorio español.Y como Afropoderossa Activista antirracista que nos ofrece una visión alternativa de España a través de varias figuras negras de su historia y de su propia experiencia como nieta de personas colonizadas.España no es solo blanca arroja luz sobre un presente y un pasado invisibilizados y sobre las vidas de muchas personas como Afropoderossa, que construyeron un país y una cultura, pero cuyas voces siempre han sido silenciadas. Porque ha llegado el momento de dar voz a otras historias y de escuchar cómo nos las cuentan de maneras distintas. Críticas:«Con este libro, Afropoderossa responde a sus inquietudes de infancia, cuando le hicieron creer que las personas negras nunca habían hecho nada digno de destacar. En un ejercicio de justicia y amor, desentierra un montón de referentes afro a los que la historiografía decidió sepultar de modo que quienes vengan detrás sepan que la gente negra, africana y afrodescendiente no solo está aquí, sino que siempre estuvo».Lucía Mbomío, periodista

From 10 to 19: My teenage ravings
by Cacá AguirreFrom 10 to 19 made me remember the movie Black butterfly, from director Brian Goodman, in which the character Paul, a writer – Antonio Banderas – says “All writing is a sacrifice”. By reading Cacá Aguirre’s book I felt what most writers feel when writing. Writing requires abdicating from daily moments and diving in a sea of dense moments, it is to give voice to feelings, knowledge, sensations, and ideas, through different characters from the author. It is to make oneself understood so that the readers get to understand why he writes that specific work. Cacá Aguirre publishes her adolescent truths through the journal, travelling companion from 10 to 19 years old, after 15 years. If we count that the first time she wrote she was 10 years old, 24 years has ran, enough time to present her confidante, what she could hear, as a contribution to those who think they are the only ones who have existential problems, a mess in the heard, a bunch of questions without answers and shame to ask. Writing a journal is a sacrifice. To tell even to a journal, even if it only hears, contentment, happiness, pleasures, enthusiasms, as well as adversities, afflictions, and dislike, is not easy. In short, the journal is sacrifice and relief to Cacá Aguirre and the adolescence is a moment in which the being becomes vulnerable, arbiter of themselves, not always condescending. Conflicts arise, burdens and often the exchange of one feeling for another, as of sadness for a false joy. It can replace the family of Cacá Aguirre, that although educated and attentive, did not get it, and by that, I am not requesting any, because everyone has flaws in raising children. And also correctness. The important thing is for the family to live sincere, unrestricted dialogues and not miss out the questions from kids and topics considered taboo.
Call Me Iggy
by Jorge AguirreIgnacio "Iggy" Garcia is an Ohio-born Colombian American teen living his best life. After bumping into Marisol (and her coffee) at school, Iggy's world is spun around.

As Iggy stresses over how to get Marisol to like him, his grandfather comes to the rescue. The thing is, not only is his abuelito dead, but he also gives terrible love advice. The worst. And so, with his ghost abuelito's meddling, Iggy's life begins to unravel as he sets off on a journey of self-discovery.Call me Iggy tells the story of Iggy searching for his place in his family, his school, his community, and ultimately—as the political climate in America changes during the 2016 election—his country. Focusing on familial ties and budding love, Call me Iggy challenges our assumptions about Latino-American identity while reaffirming our belief in the hope that all young people represent. Perfect for lovers of multigenerational stories like Displacement and The Magic Fish.
