When one of them plagiarizes one of Lark's songs and passes it off as his own, will Lark gain the courage to step into the spotlight herself? .… (more)

Original de: El Blog del Gato - El Extraño Gato del Cuento

Yo fui engañada, así, muy feo. A mí me dieron a entender cuando escogí el libro, que sería sobre una protagonista un poco mayor de que la me dan en el libro, mínimo sus 17 años yo imaginé, pero resulté leyendo sobre una niña de 12. Y normalmente no tengo problema con protagonistas jóvenes, solo que hay muy pocos autores que de verdad disfruto leer en esta categoría. ¿Por qué? Porque la mayoría de veces no saben escribir este tipo de personajes, y en The Right Track fue una de esas veces que simplemente no debió pasar.

Cuando yo lo leí, el libro todavía se llamaba Girl vs Boy Band, ni siquiera sabía que sería una serie hasta que terminé de leer el libro y luego voy a Goodreads y veo que hasta el nombre le han cambiado.

Lo que pasa con libros con tweens como protagonistas, y es algo que Harmony Jones hizo, es que caricaturizan a los personajes, exageran en las expresiones, es hasta doloroso de leer porque se nota que están tratando muy-muy duro de convencernos de que esa voz es de algo joven.
