Description
Sarai is a first-generation Puerto Rican eighth grader who can see with clarity the truth, pain, and beauty of the world both inside and outside her Bushwick apartment. Together with her older sister Estrella, she navigates the strain of family traumas and the systemic pressures of toxic masculinity and housing insecurity in a rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn. Sarai questions the society around her, her Boricua identity, and the life she lives with determination and an open heart, learning to celebrate herself in a way that she has been denied. When We Make It is a love letter to girls who were taught to believe they would not make it at all. The verse is evocative and insightful, and readers are sure to be swept into Sarai's world and rooting for her long after they close the book.
Description
Una novela en verso inolvidable, torrencial, esperanzadora, que redefine la esperanza. Sarai es primera generación de una familia puertorriqueña que vive en New York. Estudia octavo grado y ya puede ver con claridad la verdad, el dolor y la belleza del mundo, tanto dentro como fuera de su apartamento en Bushwick. Junto con su hermana mayor, Estrella, navega la tensión de traumas familiares, las presiones de la masculinidad tóxica y la inseguridad de su casa en un Brooklyn que se gentrifica rápidamente. Sarai cuestiona a la sociedad que la rodea, su identidad boricua y la vida, misma que ha decidido llevar con determinación y corazón abierto, aprendiendo a celebrarse en formas que le habían sido negadas. Y si lo logramos es una carta de amor a todas las personas a las que el mundo ha dicho que no lograrían sus sueños. Un manifiesto para quienes sienten sus emociones antes de poder nombrarlas, para quienes aún no son dueños de un idioma, pero tienen su historia. La novela debut de Velasquez dejará una marca indeleble en quienes la lean
