Publisher Description:
Un a o de revelaciones culmina con una actuaci n llena de sorpresas, mientras dos ni as descubren su lugar en el mundo.

Un a o de revelaciones culmina con una actuaci n llena de sorpresas, mientras dos ni as descubren su lugar en el mundo.

M xico es el pa s de sus padres, pero no el de Margie. Ella ha logrado convencer a sus compa eros de escuela que es cien por ciento estadounidense, igual que ellos. Pero cuando Lupe, su prima mexicana, va a vivir a su casa, la imagen de s misma que hab a creado se deshace.

La situaci n de Lupe no es f cil. Siente que su casa de M xico no es un hogar desde que el padre se fue al norte. La esperanza de poder encontrarlo en los Estados Unidos le da algo de consuelo, pero aprender un idioma nuevo en una escuela nueva representa un gran desaf o. Al igual que Margie, Lupe necesita una amiga.

Poco a poco, los pasos de cada ni a van encontrando el ritmo de un baile compartido, a medida que descubren el verdadero significado del hogar. Siguiendo la tradici n de Me llamo Mar a Isabel, Alma Flor Ada y su hijo Gabriel M. Zubizarreta ofrecen un relato honesto de los valores de la familia y de la amistad, y de la experiencia que debe atravesar el inmigrante: volverse parte de algo nuevo y, a la vez, conservar la propia identidad.
