Sinopsis de Everybody Sees the Ants
Lucky Linderman didn't ask for his life. He didn't ask his grandfather not to come home from the Vietnam War. He didn't ask for a father who never got over it. He didn't ask for a mother who keeps pretending their dysfunctional family is fine. And he didn't ask to be the target of Nader McMillan's relentless bullying, which has finally gone too far. But Lucky has a secret--one that helps him wade through the daily mundane torture of his life. In his dreams, Lucky escapes to the war-ridden jungles of Laos--the prison his grandfather couldn't escape--where Lucky can be a real man, an adventurer, and a hero. It's dangerous and wild, and it's a place where his life just might be worth living. But how long can Lucky keep hiding in his dreams before reality forces its way inside? Michael L. Printz Honor recipient A.S. King's smart, funny and boldly original writing shines in this powerful novel about learning to cope with the shrapnel life throws at you and taking a stand against it.
1 reseñas sobre el libro Everybody Sees the Ants
Me gustó demasiado. Creo que relata a la perfección los efectos que puede ocasionar el bulling. Lucky sólo sabe que "debe" soportar las burlas y vejaciones de un niño incomprendido y engreído como lo es Nader. No pidió ser parte de la familia a la que pertenece, ni tener la vida que tiene, y su único refugio son sus sueños, dónde visita a su abuelo que nunca regreso del campo de batalla de la Guerra de Vietnam. El final es bueno, ya que por lo menos Lucky se da cuenta de que nada de eso es su culpa y que puede tener una vida normal, nadie se lo impide, sólo él al dejarse tanto tiempo de un niño que no tiene el derecho de hacerle o decirle nada. Lucky sabe y se da cuenta de que todos vemos las hormigas, aunque no lo queramos admitir...
