«La cometa rota» is the young adult novel by Paula Fox, published by Noguer Ediciones in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
Liam must accept that his father, ill with AIDS, is going to die, and also the truth he discovered three years earlier on the beach: that he is gay. That day he broke and buried the kite his father had given him; that broken image marks the novel: a teenager's difficulty understanding his father, family silence, and reconciliation.
The novel opens the Noguer Narrativa collection and was originally published in English as Eagle Kite in 1995.
Aimed at young readers aged 14 and up, especially those seeking stories about family and adolescence.
Paula Fox was an American author of novels for adults and children and of two memoirs. Fox won the Newbery Medal in 1974 for her novel The Slave Dancer. She also won the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1978 and won a 1983 National Book Award in category Children's Fiction (paperback) for A Place Apart. In the mid-1990s, she enjoyed a revival as her adult fiction was championed by a new generation of American writers. In 2011, she was inducted into the New York State Writers Hall of Fame.
