In 1961 Lucia is an averange fourteen-year-old girl living in Cuba. But as Castro rises in power many of her freedoms are taken away. Her parents are afraid of what the Communist revolution will do to tear their family apart and decide to send Lucia and her younger brother to America, alone.
Really well-written and very interesting. Lucia is a great character. She grows a lot from the beginning of the book to the end. Not only do we get her perspective, but the perspective of her parents, her uncle, her best friend still in Cuba, and her American classmates. I liked the book. MS - ADVISABLE.
