Produktbeschreibung
Alvaro Torres is a teenager with man-sized problems: his dad bailed, his mom's a shut-in, and his teacher at Our Lady of Providence School for Boys thinks Alvaro and his buddies are punks headed for a minimum-wage future. It doesn't look like anything's going to change until Candelario Carlisle transfers in and arouses Alvaro's protective instincts... among other things. When a bully threatens the pretty new kid, Alvaro takes Cande under his wing and into his fledgling dance group. Slowly, under Alvaro's care and attention, the hard shell Cande has built around his heart begins to melt. The more involved they become, the more reluctant Cande is to add misery to Alvaro's life, but Cande's past could ruin the only opportunity these delincuentes have for a better life.
Autorenporträt
CONNIE BAILEY est technophobe mais ne peut pas vivre sans son ordinateur. Bien qu'elle souffre d'acrophobie, elle adore voler, c'est une pessimiste qui critique tout qui, néanmoins, est toujours surprise quand quelque chose de mal arrive, et une antisociale qui aime ses amis comme une famille. Elle a occupé un certain nombre d'emplois dans des domaines très disparates pour pouvoir manger, mais c'est l'écriture qui nourrit son âme. Avec son mari - designer pour l'aviation légère - et Ickle le Fantastique Lévrier, Connie vit sur un petit aérodrome à piste gazonnée à mi-chemin entre Disney World et les Busch Gardens. La logique et la réalité n'ont pas grand-chose à voir avec sa vie, et ça lui plaît comme ça.
