Description:
When Miguel's Tia Lola comes from the Dominican Republic to Vermont to help out his Mami, who recently got divorced, Miguel is embarrassed by his unusual aunt, whose beauty mark keeps changing places on her face, who drapes her lace mantilla across their windows, and who paints their house purple. Tia Lola's English is nonexistent -- but how come she has no trouble making friends? And are the meatballs she puts in Miguel's lunchbox responsible for his making the baseball team? In each of these intertwining stories, Miguel finds his life changing in magical and unexpected ways. Julia Alvarez captures the essence of what it means to be different, to find yourself, and to understand how important family is.
