SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Yamile Saied Méndez
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, October 2nd at 6pm PDT\, when Yamile Saied Méndez dicusses her YA debut novel\, Furia\, on Zoom! \nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82109506823 \nWebinar ID: 821 0950 6823 \nAbout Furia \nA powerful\, #ownvoices contemporary YA for fans of The Poet X and I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter set in Argentina\, about a rising soccer star who must put everything on the line—even her blooming love story—to follow her dreams. \nIn Rosario\, Argentina\, Camila Hassan lives a double life. \nAt home\, she is a careful daughter\, living within her mother’s narrow expectations\, in her rising-soccer-star brother’s shadow\, and under the abusive rule of her short-tempered father. \nOn the field\, she is La Furia\, a powerhouse of skill and talent. When her team qualifies for the South American tournament\, Camila gets the chance to see just how far those talents can take her. In her wildest dreams\, she’d get an athletic scholarship to a North American university. \nBut the path ahead isn’t easy. Her parents don’t know about her passion. They wouldn’t allow a girl to play fútbol—and she needs their permission to go any farther. And the boy she once loved is back in town. Since he left\, Diego has become an international star\, playing in Italy for the renowned team Juventus. Camila doesn’t have time to be distracted by her feelings for him. Things aren’t the same as when he left: she has her own passions and ambitions now\, and La Furia cannot be denied. As her life becomes more complicated\, Camila is forced to face her secrets and make her way in a world with no place for the dreams and ambition of a girl like her. \nFilled with authentic details and the textures of day-to-day life in Argentina\, heart-soaring romance\, and breathless action on the pitch\, Furia is the story of a girl’s journey to make her life her own. \nAbout Yamile Saied Méndez \nYamile (sha-MEE-lay) Saied Méndez is a fútbol-obsessed Argentine American who loves meteor showers\, summer\, astrology\, and pizza. She lives in Utah with her Puerto Rican husband and their five kids\, two adorable dogs\, and one majestic cat. An inaugural Walter Dean Myers Grant recipient\, she’s a graduate of Voices of Our Nations (VONA) and the MFA program in Writing for Children and Young Adults at Vermont College of Fine Arts. Méndez is also part of Las Musas\, the first collective of women and nonbinary Latinx middle grade and young adult authors. Furia is her first novel for young adult readers.
