Description

A beautiful and powerful novel-in-verse that explores the experiences of a young girl who is half-Cuban, half-Chinese, and her journey to find her place in the world. Engle's vivid and evocative language brings to life the stories of her ancestors, and the struggles they faced in their journey to America. The book is a powerful exploration of identity, culture, and family, and the ways in which our heritage shapes us, even when we don't see it. The story is set in the present day, but the themes of identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience are timeless and universal. The book is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like they don't quite fit in, or who is searching for their place in the world.
