A lyrical novel-in-verse that takes us through the journey of coming of age in New York during the 80s.Alma's life is a constant of halfways: She's half-Chinese, half-Jewish, her parents spend half the time fighting, and the other half silent, and, at thirteen, she's halfway through becoming a woman. Then comes the year when everything changes, and her life is overtaken by constant endings: friends move away, romances bloom and wither, her parents file for divorce, and just like that her childhood seems to be over. Among this world of confusing beginnings, middles, and endings, could there be a roadmap for Alma to truly find herself? Perfect for fans of Inside Out and Back Again and Brown Girl Dreaming, Alma Presses Play is a love song to the timeless struggle of growing up and figuring out your place in an ever-changing life.
