Fredrika, a thirteen-year-old Swedish girl, wants to define herself on her own terms, but her mother buys her a green coat identical to Madeleine Strand's so she can be like her. In class, Britt, a shy classmate who admires her, wears another identical green coat; from their relationship emerges a story about identity, friendship and self-assertion.
This Spanish-language edition is the 4th, published in 1986 in SM's Gran Angular collection; the original work appeared in 1974.
Suitable for young and teen readers who enjoy stories of personal growth and the search for identity.
