Heart of Jupiter

Bok av Ledicia Costas
By the winner of the 2015 Spanish National Prize for Children's and Young Adult Literature, "Heart of Jupiter" is the story of a teenage girl, Isla, who moves home and has to start over at a new school in Region. Here she makes friends with Mar, who helps her adjust to her new circumstances, but she also comes across Oak, who is determined to make her life miserable and seems to bear a grudge. She spends her nights chatting online with Jupiter. They share a common passion for the stars. Isla finds solace in their relationship, but Mar remains unconvinced and would prefer to see Isla in a relationship with Anxo, a boy from their school, someone she has actually seen. Isla is insistent, however: Jupiter and she have arranged to meet on Midsummer's Eve, when they will finally discover whether their online relationship is for real...
