-Titulo Original : Starworld
-Fabricante :
Candlewick
-Descripcion Original:
In a novel in two voices, a popular teen and an artistic loner forge an unlikely bond - and create an entire universe - via texts. But how long before the real world invades Starworld? Sam Jones and Zoe Miller have one thing in common: they both want an escape from reality. Loner Sam flies under the radar at school and walks on eggshells at home to manage her mom’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, wondering how she can ever leave to pursue her dream of studying aerospace engineering. Popular, people-pleasing Zoe puts up walls so no one can see her true self: the girl who was abandoned as an infant, whose adoptive mother has cancer, and whose disabled brother is being sent away to live in a facility. When an unexpected encounter results in the girls’ exchanging phone numbers, they forge a connection through text messages that expands into a private universe they call Starworld. In Starworld, they find hilarious adventures, kindness and understanding, and the magic of being seen for who they really are. But when Sam’s feelings for Zoe turn into something more, will the universe they’ve built survive the inevitable explosion? From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-Zoe is a pretty, popular star of the high school stage; Sam is an artistic loner with only one friend to her name. Their paths would never have crossed except for a mistaken text message that opens the door to an unexpected friendship based in Starworld: a fantasy location they create, complete with adventures that take the teens out of the hidden pain of their daily lives. Zoe is surprised and grateful when Sam helps her see that it isnt necessary to be perfect. Sam, on the other hand, isnt quite sure what to do when she falls in love with Zoe. Since Zoe is straight, readers know all along that this will lead to a painful outcome, and the tension grows along with the girls friendship. Sam is funny, snarky, and potty-mouthed, and her character seems the better defined of the two. Even so, the story offers plenty of growth for both as the girls come to a new understanding of the challenges in their lives, and a realistic open ending without a neat tie-up adds greatly. Only their adventures in Starworld seem flat, but thats a small price to pay for a well-wrought story about the pitfalls and rewards of friendship.
