Selma, besos y embrollos

by Laura Melina Berling, Julia C. Gómez Sáez (Translator), Hannah Rödel (Illustrator)

Overview

A funny story full of awkward moments, it invites us to reflect on sexuality, diversity, and the adventures— and complexities— of growing up. What happens to Selma? First, her period comes, and suddenly, everyone starts talking about kisses. But she's only 12! Her mother has a new job, which means she's rarely home anymore. Now Selma has to learn to grow up alongside her father, who, although he tries hard, sometimes doesn't quite know how to handle the situation. One day, a mysterious list appears at school, ranking girls from 0 to 10 based on their appearance. How cruel! Selma teams up with her friends to find the culprits and, in the process, discovers some things about herself and her surroundings. A story that challenges conventions. Written in inclusive language!
