  Have you ever been the best at something . . . only to lose it all? 
   
   
   
  Luz Véliz is a soccer star—or rather, she was a soccer star. With her serious knee injury, it's unlikely she'll be back on the field anytime soon. But without soccer, who is she? Even her dad treats her differently now—like he doesn't know her or, worse, like he doesn't even like her. When Luz discovers she has a knack for coding, it feels like a lifeline to a better self. If she can just ace the May Showcase, she'll not only skip a level in her coding courses and impress Ms. Freeman and intriguing, brilliant Trevor—she'll have her parents cheering her on from the sidelines, just the way she likes it. 
   
   
   
  But something—someone—is about to enter the Vélizes' life. And when Solana arrives, nothing will be the same, ever again. 
   
   
   
  Unforgettable characters, family drama, and dauntless determination illuminate Luz's journey as she summons her inner strength and learns to accept others and embrace the enduring connection of family. Through it all, Luz's light is a constant—a guide for others, a path forward through the dark, and an ineffable celebration of her own eternal self.

  This is poetry that expresses children's emotions, anxiety and mental trauma. The inner voice speaks and replies, seeking answers, often finding no response. 
  When you read these poems, I want you to know the children who wrote these poems were of different races, cultures, identities and between the ages of 11-13 years old. What started out as a class assignment, turned into a journey I will never forget. 
  This poetry book is for the children who ever wondered why and to know that they are not alone, the adult who needs to heal that inner child inside of them or the educator or parent who wants to understand today's child.
