Synopsis

Un roman graphique pour adolescents sur Marlene, une jeune fille qui arrête de se lisser les cheveux et assume ses boucles naturelles. Marlene aime trois choses : les livres, sa super Tía Ruby et sortir avec saamie Camila. Mais selon sa mère, Paola, la seule chose sur laquelle elle doit se concentrer, c'est l'école et ir. Cela signifie se lisser les cheveux tous les week-ends pour avoir des cheveux présentables et beaux. Mais Marlene déteste aller au salon et ne comprend pas pourquoi ses boucles ne sont pas considérées comme jolies par son entourage. Avec quelques contretemps, une pointe d'embarras et l'aide indispensable de Camila et Tia Ruby, elle commence lentement un voyage pour apprendre à apprécier et à porter fièrement ses cheveux bouclés.

New York Times-bestselling author Claribel A. Ortega and star debut artist Rose Bousamra's Frizzy is about Marlene, a young Dominican girl whose greatest enemy is the hair salon! Through her struggles and triumphs, this heartwarming and gorgeous middle-grade graphic novel shows the radical power of accepting yourself as you are, frizzy curls and all.



Marlene loves three things: books, her cool Tía Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have "presentable", "good hair".



But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and the much-needed help of Camila and Tia Ruby-she slowly starts a journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.
