1Me qued despierta toda la noche leyendo Una lista peligrosa, una novela del todo absorbente sobre el sistema de castas del bachillerato, sobre la belleza, la juventud, la amistad y las etiquetas. Todos los personajes son divertidos, agudos, rom nticos, conmovedores y veraces, sin importar qu tan "lindos" o "feos" sean.
Melissa de la Cruz, autora de Blue BloodsUna intensa mirada a las reglas de la atracci n en la preparatoria y al precio que hay que pagar por la popularidad. Ocurre todos los a os: una lista se expone por toda la escuela, se pega en todos los peri dicos murales y casilleros, y es, simplemente, imposible de ignorar. Todo el mundo conoce el juego. En la lista figuran los nombres de las chicas que han sido elegidas como las m s bonitas y las m s feas de cada a o. Elegidas por qui n? Nadie sabe. Con qu prop sito? A nadie le importa. Lo nico crucial es saber qui n figura en la lista y si tu nombre aparece en ella. sta es la historia de ocho chicas, pues todas ellas han aparecido en la lista de ese a o. Cada una de ellas tiene una historia detr s absolutamente diferente, cada quien con una personalidad distinta, una voz propia y miedos, sue os y deseos diferentes, por lo tanto todas tienen su particular reacci n a esta experiencia, que las confronta con su identidad, autoestima y el juicio de los dem s. Las m s bonitas o las m s feas, da igual, una vez que apareces en la lista, nada vuelve a ser lo mismo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It happens every year before homecoming--the list is posted all over school. Two girls are picked from each grade. One is named the prettiest, one the ugliest. The girls who aren't picked are quickly forgotten. The girls who are picked become the center of attention. Each one has a different reaction to the experience. Abby's joy at being named to the list is clouded by her sister's resentment. Danielle worries about how her boyfriend will take the news. Lauren is a homeschooled girl blindsided by her instant popularity. Candace isn't ugly, not even close, so it must be a mistake. Bridget knows her summer transformation is nothing to celebrate. Sarah has always rebelled against traditional standards of beauty, and she decides to take her mutiny to the next level. And Margo and Jennifer, ex-best friends who haven't spoken in years, are forced to confront why their relationship ended. The List deftly takes you into the lives of eight very different girls struggling with issues of identity, self-esteem, and the judgments of their peers. Prettiest or Ugliest, once you're on the list, you'll never be the same.
