Victoria, ya adolescente, rememora su infancia, esa que «se escribe con limón», que, por eso, «mientras dura no se ve». Los recuerdos empiezan en el jardín de infantes y terminan en segundo de secundaria. En la historia desfilan el primer día de clases, los primeros compañeros, la primera maestra, los juegos entre compañeros, el nacimiento del hermanito y la horrible sensación de sentir ya no ser «la única», las diferentes casas en las que vive sucesivamente la familia y los consecuentes cambios de escuela, los juegos y juguetes, la escuela de la ciudad y la del pueblo pequeñito, los miedos... las enfermedades de la infancia y el saber que se ha dejado de ser niña… Cada uno de aquellos asuntos es un corto capítulo, que se lee sin descanso. Un bello libro sobre el paso de la infancia a la adolescencia, lleno de golpes y raspones, sí, pero también de amor y ternura.
