La historia de mi furia / The Story of My Anger
La autora galardonada con el Premio de Honor Pura Belpré por Aniana del Mar se avienta hace su debut en literatura juvenil con una poderosa novela en verso sobre una adolescente texana que lucha contra el racismo en su programa de teatro y los intentos de censura literaria por parte del consejo escolar de su ciudad.
Yulieta López está furiosa. Furiosa con su profesor de teatro racista que se niega a elegir estudiantes negros para los papeles protagónicos. Furiosa con la junta escolar que amenaza a su profesor favorito por enseñar obras literarias que consideran "controvertidas". Furiosa porque debe guardar silencio hasta poder ir a la universidad y dejar Texas para siempre.
Yuli está acostumbrada a interpretar varios papeles: la hija estudiosa, la hija honorable, la niña buena que sirve a todos los demás antes que a sí misma. Pero conforme el fuego de su indignación se propaga y la ilumina por dentro, ya no puede callar. Decidida a encontrar una forma de resistir, Yuli y sus amigas fundan un club de teatro guerrillero que agita las aguas y hace que la gente comience a hablar, y finalmente, Yuli asume el papel que siempre estuvo destinada a interpretar.
