A story about life and the lessons that can be learned from it. A coming-of-age novel that depicts an incorrigible young man, unhappy with himself and his life. \"I try to be human in my writing.

In the first book, the duo was always looking for something bad to do. This time, they enter the world of amateur boxing, seeking independence for their lives. While Ruben displays a natural talent for the sport, the other simply tries to survive. Everything bad is normal in the Wolfe family's daily life: the silences, the fights, the poverty, the mediocrity. They've grown accustomed to it and always have an excuse for it. Cameron, the youngest, is the epitome of a young fighter. From an early age, he takes a beating and gets back up, showing that what matters isn't the force of the blow, but whether you have the strength to get back up. It is interesting to note how Zusak intersperses, within the same chapter, scenes from the characters' past and present, highlighting the difference in their feelings over time.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176639906044,"sku":"9788528616538","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/5542483c452476426442931fa71a9ce8.jpg?v=1778324049"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/markus-zusak.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
