Carolina gets another welcome surprise when she stumbles upon a long-abandoned cottage in the woods near the campsite and immediately sees its potential as a creative haven for making art. Just as Carolina worries she'll have to spend the entire summer in Gabriela's shadow, she makes a friend of her own in Jennifer, a fellow artist. Now Carolina must attend Silver Meadows camp, where her bossy older cousin Gabriela rules the social scene. Just right for fans of Pam Muñoz Ryan, this story of moving out and moving on is a touching portrayal of the experience of leaving one's home country and making new friends-sometimes where least expected.Įleven-year-old Carolina's summer-and life as she knows it-is upended when Papi loses his job, and she and her family must move from Puerto Rico to her Tía Cuca and Uncle Porter's house in upstate New York. Synopsis: "Beautiful and wise, is a gem of a book." -Adam Gidwitz, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Inquisitor's Tale
