Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A year of discoveries culminates in a performance full of surprises, as two girls find their own way to belong.
Mexico may be her parentsâ home, but itâs certainly not Margieâs. She has finally convinced the other kids at school she is one-hundred percent Americanâjust like them. But when her Mexican cousin Lupe visits, the image sheâs created for herself crumbles.
Things arenât easy for Lupe, either. Mexico hadnât felt like home since her father went North to find work. Lupeâs hope of seeing him in the United States comforts her some, but learning a new language in a new school is tough. Lupe, as much as Margie, is in need of a friend.
Little by little, the girlsâ individual steps find the rhythm of one shared dance, and they learn what âhomeâ really means. In the tradition of My Name is Maria Isabelâand simultaneously published in English and in SpanishâAlma Flor Ada and her son Gabriel M. Zubizarreta offer an honest story of family, friendship, and the classic immigrant experience: becoming part of something new, while straying true to who you are.
