Camila Hassan, 17, knows that «lies have short legs,» but her budding career as a soccer player — and romance with childhood friend Diego — would not exist without them. Under pressure from parental expectations and an abusive father, Camila takes pains at home to conceal her after-school activities and passion for futbol. On the field, however, she lets loose and tears it up as Furia — fierce futbolera and captain of Eva Maria Futbol Club. When her team qualifies for a major tournament that requires a parental signature to participate, Camila must find the strength to reveal the truth and continue pursuing her goals in a community rife with machismo and rigid ideas about gender and ambition. Weaving rich cultural specifics and electric energy into her prose, Mendez crafts a dynamic, feminist narrative that commands attention from the very first line. At its core, this novel is a full-hearted love letter to Argentina and «incorrigible girls» everywhere, emboldening readers to stand up for themselves and chase the dreams they hold dear
