Y decirte alguna estupidez, por ejemplo, te quiero

(And to tell you something stupid, like say, I love you) Anaya, 1995

Juan thinks love is stupid, but he falls in love with Sara, the new girl in his class. When Sara proposes to steal some tests, he can´t say no to the adventure she proposes, because he´s inside of another adventure, the one of his secret love. This is also a story about the transition from adolescence to maturity: during the year of  Butragueño´s goodbye, his little brother Zac´s idol, Juan is learning to assess what we call “the small things”.

PRESS

«With a fresh and fluid monolog […] Juan tells what happens in his class,  in dealings with his friends, about his brother and about the tribute to Butragueño. And he doesn´t forget about Sara, with eyes as bright as scratches of the sun on the sea and her lucid and personal way to understand the world. » José María Goicoechea, El País de la Tentaciones.
