| Publisher Description: Izzy es una adolescente pragm tica que pretende convertirse en doctora. ltimamente se siente alejada de su familia, no s lo porque acaban de mudarse a Brooklyn, un barrio que le resulta muy ajeno, sino tambi n porque la relaci n con su hermano mellizo es cada vez m s distante. Pero entonces conoce a Trist n. Trist n es un prodigio del ajedrez que vive con su t a y admira a su primo, Marcus, un chico popular pero tambi n un pandillero en l os de apuestas. Trist n e Izzy se encuentran una noche de luna llena, y juntos sucumben en una historia tan antigua e irrefrenable como el mismo amor. Una apasionante historia del primer amor y una epopeya sobre los v nculos que nos unen y nos separan, y las diferentes culturas y tensiones que llenan nuestra cambiante realidad. Izzy, a practical-minded teen who intends to become a doctor, isn't happy about her recent move from the Lower East Side across the river to Brooklyn. She feels distanced from her family, especially her increasingly incomprehensible twin brother, as well as her new neighborhood. And then she meets Tristan. Tristan is a chess prodigy who lives with his aunt and looks up to his cousin, Marcus, who has watched out for him over the years. When he and Izzy meet one fateful night, together they tumble into a story as old and unstoppable as love itself. In debut author Shannon Dunlap's capable hands, the romance that has enthralled for 800 years is spun new. |
