A powerful, #ownvoices contemporary YA for fans of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter set in Argentina, about a rising soccer star who must put everything on the line to follow her dreams. At home, she is a careful daughter, living within her mother's narrow expectations, but on the pitch, she is La Furia, a powerhouse of skill and talent. But the path ahead isn't easy. Her parents don't know about her passion. They wouldn't allow a girl to play futbol—and she needs their permission to go any farther. And the boy she once loved is back in town. Since he left, Diego has become an international star, playing in Italy for the renowned team Juventus. Things aren't the same as when he left: she has her own passions and ambitions now, and La Furia cannot be denied. Filled with authentic details and the textures of day-to-day life in Argentina, heart-soaring romance, and breathless action on the pitch, Furia is the story of a girl's journey to make her life her own.
