I like the idea, but I'm on the fence about the main character. It was interesting enough that I'll read the next one, and see how it progresses. ( )
Debut author Rossi creates a dystopian world in which a teenage girl loses her home but finds truth, love and identity. Aria has grown up in a Pod, where life is highly regulated and technology has eliminated many of life’s pains and inconveniences. Dwellers lead sheltered, insulated lives in the Pod, enjoying protection from the often treacherous and always unpredictable Aether forces in the sky. They also revel in endless virtual joy rides accessible through devices all Dwellers have. Rossi seamlessly intertwines Aria’s journey with that of Peregrine, a teenage boy who has grown up outside of a Pod, an Outsider, in what the Dwellers consider perilous wastelands where humans live without the gadgets Dwellers depend upon. Ruling authorities banish Aria from the Pod, and Rossi nails the feat of offering dual perspectives from Aria and Perry as they help one another on separate quests that turn out to have unexpected connections. Though an Outsider and what Dwellers consider a savage, Peregrine, who possesses preternatural gifts and comes from a ruling family in his tribe, earns not only Aria’s respect and admiration, but also her heart. Rossi grounds her worldbuilding in language, creating idioms for the Dwellers and Outsiders that add texture to their respective myths; her characters are brave and complex and her prose smooth and evocative. Inspired, offbeat and mesmerizing. (Science fiction. 12 & up) Pertenece a las seriesPremiosListas de sobresalientes
Este era un rey que tenia tres hijas: Drusilla, Rosalinda e Isabella. Y para cada momento del dia tenian sirvientes que las peinaban, les rizaban el pelo, sacaban brillo a sus coronas, les daban de comer... incluso las seguian con un cojin para que pudieran sentarse sobre algo mullido alli donde fueran. Pero Isabella estaba harta y los sorprendio a todos un dia cuando sentencio: Ya no quiero ser princesa! y lanzo su corona al estanque de los peces. El rey entonces la obligo a sacar la corona, pero la pequena estaba decidida a no hacerlo. No queria ser princesa y antes de tener que volver a serlo, estaba dispuesta a hacer cualquier cosa: pulir cazuelas, pelar cebollas, dar de comer a los cerdos... de hecho, en la porqueriza se encontraba mas a gusto que en ningun lado. Asi es que hasta alli fue el rey para darle su corona y decirle: Haz con ella lo que quieras. Te veo feliz, asi es que te dejare estar . Isabella vio que no estaba mal ir con su corona a recoger moras, y de tanto en tanto la llevaba sobre su cabeza. Pero eso si, nunca jamas permitio que nadie le rizara el pelo! ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Princess Isabella surprised everyone declaring: "I don t want to be a princess" and launched her crown to the fish pond. She was willing to polish pans, peel onions, and feed the pigs. The king gave her the crown and say: "Do with it what you want. I see you happy, so I'll let you be". Isabella never allowed anyone to curl her hair anymore! No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
