Resumen

Al contemplar el vínculo emocional e intelectual entre el lector y el libro, este artículo considera cómo los textos contemporáneos responden a las cuestiones de los estudios actuales sobre la maternidad y cómo estos son mediados para ser considerados apropiados para una audiencia de lectores juveniles. Se utiliza una estrategia de investigación psicosocial, a través de un marco teórico feminista, para analizar cómo la novela juvenil The Girl Who Drank the Moon incorpora ideas clave de los estudios sobre la maternidad a través de la agencia del personaje y el arco narrativo. La maternidad se representa como una institución, una identidad individual y una experiencia emocional, y la novela ofrece al lector juvenil una visión matizada de una discusión en curso. Se destaca el potencial de la narración para mediar en las preocupaciones de justicia social ante el lector preadolescente.
