內容簡介

沒人比Vale更了解何謂努力與堅持。她曾是擊劍場裡最頂尖的選手——那是她熱愛,也最為擅長的事,直到那場意外。

 

歷經難熬的數月休養,Vale終於獲准重返擊劍場,但一切早已不同以往。她的身體不若從前敏捷靈活,更糟的是,場上寵兒如今已經換人。無論是俐落完美的動作,還是從容自信的微笑,Myrka都輕易地把Vale從昔日的第一名寶座上擠了下去。Vale難以接受,同時更拼命想追上過去的自己,但她越是努力,就越是明白意識到,阻礙她前進的,並不是她受的那些傷。

 

若始終被過去牽制,又該如何重新展望未來?

《Iveliz Explains It All》紐伯瑞獎作家Andrea Beatriz Arango全新力作。遭遇低潮的年輕運動選手Vale,如何在一場意外後,重新找回對生命與夢想的熱情?而在熱血滿腔、身體卻力有未逮,熱情與成績無法相映時,如何放下藉由成就定義自我價值的執念?

 
A poignant novel in verse in which, after a life-changing accident, one girl finds her way back to her life’s passion. From the Newbery Honor-winning author of Iveliz Explains It All.

All these months of staring at the wall?
All these months of feeling weak?
It’s ending—
I’m going back to fencing.
And then it’ll be
like nothing ever happened.

No one knows hard work and dedication like Valentina Camacho. And Vale’s thing is fencing. She’s the top athlete at her fencing gym. Or she was . . . until the accident.

After months away, Vale is finally cleared to fence again, but it’s much harder than before. Her body doesn’t move the way it used to, and worst of all is the new number one: Myrka. When she sweeps Vale aside with her perfect form and easy smile, Vale just can’t accept that. But the harder Vale fights to catch up, the more she realizes her injury isn’t the only thing holding her back. If she can’t leave her accident in the past, then what does she have to look forward to?

In this moving novel from the Newbery Honor-winning author of
Iveliz Explains It All, one girl finds her way back to her life’s passion and discovers that the sum of a person's achievements doesn’t amount to the whole of them.
