It’s 1969, and fourteen-year-old Evelyn Serrano finds her boring life turned upside down after her fiery grandmother, Abuela, arrives from Puerto Rico. Unsure at first, Evelyn warms up to Abuela as the older woman shares stories of the family’s involvement in Puerto Rico’s revolutionary history. And when Abuela shows support for the Young Lords, a Puerto Rican activist group, in their fight against inequality in their Spanish Harlem neighborhood, Evelyn grows interested in the movement and, in turn, her Latino heritage. Based on true events, this work of historical fiction provides powerful lessons on culture, family, and forgiveness for middle-grade readers.
