Cara de Pizza (Spanish Edition)
by Rex Ogle (Author) Dave Valeza (Illustrator)
Una novela grafica divertida y reconfortante sobre las rupturas, la pubertad y como afrontar las amistades complicadas.
El primer dia de septimo grado, Rex encuentra un obstaculo en el camino: le ha salido un grano enorme en el medio de la frente. Y este es solo el comienzo. Lo que sigue es una batalla frustrante contra el acne, el olor corporal y otras verguenzas de la pubertad. Aun tratando de sobrevivir en el umbral de la pobreza, Rex no puede permitirse el lujo de comprar los medicamentos para el acne o el desodorante que necesita, y los abusones estan notando su incomoda transformacion. Encima, las cosas se han puesto raras con sus amigos, lo que hace que Rex sienta que no puede hacer ni decir nada bien. ¡Hasta ahora, el septimo grado apesta!

Kirkus
A relatable, engaging sequel about surviving puberty and middle school.
Hornbook
Endearing and engaging... Rex is a likable and relatable character; his trials with puberty and middle school ring true.
ALA/Booklist
"Ogle powerfully depicts middle-school bullying, the pressures of living in a low-income family, and the struggle to find a place to fit in and to stand up for one's self, all with multifaceted characters. Valeza and Szymanik's well-paced, wonderfully crafted, and expressive artwork does an excellent job of capturing the emotional turns of this captivating, honest story about adolescence. Hand to fans of Raina Telgemeier, Dan Santat, Jerry Craft, and Shannon Hale.
Publishers Weekly
Valeza's classic-feeling character designs, reminiscent of Raina Telgemeier's work, effectively capture the 1990s aesthetic, and visual jokes, like an optometrist called Eye Caramba, add levity to a thoughtfully rendered read that tackles themes of loneliness, connection, and change.
