Rebeca goes on holiday to a fishing village. There she meets Luisa, a girl with whom she lives unknown experiences and emotions.

Comment:
This interesting novel displays a story full of emotions and feelings about puberty: the customary will for freedom and rebellion of this age and the social conventions that oppress boys and girls. This book is a cry for freedom.
