Miedo is a coming-of-age young adult novel that explores the powerful and sometimes overwhelming emotion of fear. The story follows a group of teenagers who must confront personal and interpersonal fears — fear of living, fear of not coping, and fear of jealousy — as they navigate relationships and the challenges of growing up. Through characters like Eric, Xenia, and Hugo, the book examines how fear can shape identity and how learning to face it is an essential part of maturing.
