Synopsis

Graciela Cristales's whole world changes after she and a boy she barely knows are assaulted at the same party. She loses her gift for making enchanted pan dulce. Neighborhood trees vanish overnight, while mirrored glass appears, bringing reckless magic with it. And Ciela is haunted by what happened to her and what happened to the boy whose name she never learned.

But when the boy, Lock, shows up at Ciela’s school, he has no memory of that night and no clue that a single piece of mirrored glass is tearing his life apart. Ciela decides to help him, which means hiding the truth about that night. Because Ciela knows who assaulted her—and him. And she knows that their survival depends on no one finding out what really happened.

Na wstępie chcę podkreślić, że jest to książka poważna, o przerażających problemach, które niestety zapewne mają miejsce każdego dnia. Jestem tego świadomy i moja opinia jaka by nie była nie ma zamiaru umniejszać przesłaniu tej książki. Niestety jednak po prostu mi się ona nie podobała. Elementy met......more

Bardzo ważna książka, która oddaje głos osobom, które boją się mówić o doświadczonej krzywdzie. Bo nikt im nie uwierzy, bo będą musiały przeżywać tę traumę na nowo, bo... no właśnie. To równocześnie opowieść o Królowej Śniegu z piękną metaforą, w której w sercu - zamiast odłamka lodu - tkwi odłamek......more
