TREV USARÁ SUS MANOS PARA CREAR... O PARA DESTRUIR?

Trev está estresado. Su padrastro abusivo ha anunciado su regreso después de amenazar a su madre y hermanas. Así que el muchacho decide tomar el asunto en sus propias manos y aprender boxeo. Haría cualquier cosa por proteger a su familia, hasta lanzar un par de puñetazos. Pero no todo el mundo está de acuerdo con su plan, porque Trev es, además de un buen chico, un talentoso artista. Las mismas manos con las que aprende a boxear, podrían servirle para construir un mejor futuro. Cómo decidirá usarlas?

ENGLISH DECSRIPTION

"Gorgeous and gripping, Hands is a poetic page-turner. You might just finish it in one sitting. Torrey Maldonado understands the kids he writes for at the deepest level." --Adam Gidwitz, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Inquisitor's Tale

The author of What Lane? and Tight delivers a fast-paced read that packs a punch about a boy figuring out how to best use his hands--to build or to knock down.

Trev would do anything to protect his mom and sisters, especially from his stepdad. But his stepdad's return stresses Trev--because when he left, he threatened Trev's mom. Rather than live scared, Trev takes matters into his own hands, literally. He starts learning to box to handle his stepdad. But everyone isn't a fan of his plan, because Trev's a talented artist, and his hands could actually help him build a better future. And they're letting him know. But their advice for some distant future feels useless in his reality right now. Ultimately, Trev knows his future is in his hands, and his hands are his own, and he has to choose how to use them.
