An endearing family story from the international bestselling author of How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and In the Time of the Butterflies

"This twist on a classic story demonstrates that difficult transitions can be eased by new connections. Or a possibly magical aunt." The New York Times Book Review


Moving to Vermont after his parents split, Miguel has plenty to worry about! Tía Lola, his quirky, carismática, and maybe magical aunt makes his life even more unpredictable when she arrives from the Dominican Republic to help out his Mami. Like her stories for adults, Julia Alvarez’s first middle-grade book sparkles with magic as it illuminates a child’s experiences living in two cultures.
