Le dicen Fregona: Poemas de un chavo de la frontera / They Call Her Fregona

David Bowles

Un libro que acompana a Me dicen Guero, libro de Honor del Premio Pura Belpre.

Puedes ser mi novio . Solo se necesitan esas cuatro palabras para cambiar la vida de Guero al terminar septimo grado.

El verano se torna mas ocupado a medida que aprende a equilibrar su tiempo entre las nuevas practicas con su antiguo grupo, Los Bobbys, y ser el novio de Joanna Padilla. La llaman fregona porque es fuerte, siempre defiende a su familia y mantiene a raya al bully de la escuela. Pero el Guero ve su dulzura interior. Juntos cocinan espaguetis baratos y se toman de la mano en el campo de naranjos, mientras van conociendose mas y mas a ellos mismos y tambien al otro, mas de lo que podrian haber imaginado. Pero cuando comienzan el octavo grado, Joanna enfrenta una tragedia que obliga al Guero a reconsiderar lo que significa apoyar y estar presente para la persona a quien amas.

Honrando multiples tradiciones poeticas, Le dicen Fregona es una agridulce historia en verso sobre el primer amor y la muy esperada continuacion de Me dicen Guero.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A companion to the Pura Belpre Honor book They Call Me Guero.

You can be my boyfriend. It only takes five words to change Guero’s life at the end of seventh grade. The summer becomes extra busy as he learns to balance new band practice with his old crew, Los Bobbys, and being Joanna Padilla’s boyfriend. They call her fregona because she’s tough, always sticking up for her family and keeping the school bullyin check. But Guero sees her softness. Together they cook dollar-store spaghetti and holdhands in the orange grove, learning more about themselves and each other than they could have imagined. But when they start eighth grade, Joanna faces a tragedy that requires Guero to reconsider what it means to show up for someone you love.

Honoring multiple poetic traditions, They Call Her Fregona is a bittersweet first-love story inverse and the highly anticipated follow-up to They Call Me Guero.
