In this story, Tia Lola comes from the Dominican Republic to stay with Miguel, his little sister, and mother when the family moves from NYC to New York after Miguel's parents separate. This is a great story about the struggle a young boy faces between fitting in and being proud of where he came from. What contributes to this story's authentic feel is the Dominican Spanish that is woven throughout the text. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
