"Puedes ser mi novio". Sólo se necesitan esas cuatro palabras para cambiar la vida de Güero al terminar séptimo grado.

 

El verano se torna más ocupado a medida que aprende a equilibrar su tiempo entre las nuevas prácticas con su antiguo grupo, Los Bobbys, y ser el novio de Joanna Padilla. La llaman "fregona" porque es fuerte, siempre defiende a su familia y mantiene a raya al bully de la escuela. Pero el Güero ve su dulzura interior. Juntos cocinan espaguetis baratos y se toman de la mano en el campo de naranjos, mientras van conociéndose más y más a ellos mismos y también al otro, más de lo que podrían haber imaginado. Pero cuando comienzan el octavo grado, Joanna enfrenta una tragedia que obliga al Güero a reconsiderar lo que significa apoyar y estar presente para la persona a quien amas.

 

Honrando múltiples tradiciones poéticas, Le dicen Fregona es una agridulce historia en verso sobre el primer amor y la muy esperada continuación de Me dicen Güero.

 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

Winner of the Junior Library Guild Gold Selection Award 2023

 

A companion to the Pura Belpré Honor book They Call Me Güero.

 

"You can be my boyfriend." It only takes five words to change Güero's life at the end of seventh grade. The summer becomes extra busy as he learns to balance new band practice with his old crew, Los Bobbys, and being Joanna Padilla's boyfriend. They call her "fregona" because she's tough, always sticking up for her family and keeping the school bullyin check. But Güero sees her softness. Together they cook dollar-store spaghetti and holdhands in the orange grove, learning more about themselves and each other than they could have imagined. But when they start eighth grade, Joanna faces a tragedy that requires Güero to reconsider what it means to show up for someone you love.

 

Honoring multiple poetic traditions, They Call Her Fregona is a bittersweet first-love story inverse and the highly anticipated follow-up to They Call Me Güero.
