From award-winning author Margarita Engle comes a lively middle grade novel in verse that tells the story of a Cuban-American boy who visits his family\'s village in Cuba for the first time--and meets a sister he didn\'t know he had.
Edver and Luza have to find a way to overcome their differences to save the Cuban jungle that they both have grown to love..
But their message is intercepted by a dangerous poacher, and suddenly much more than their family is at stake.
Maybe now their cryptozoologist mother will come to visit.
Looking for something--anything--they might have in common, the siblings sneak onto the Internet, despite it being forbidden in Cuba, and make up a fake butterfly.
Luza is a year older and excited to see her little brother, until she realizes what a spoiled American he is.
He was NOT expecting to meet a sister he didn\'t know he had.
Technology in Cuba hasn\'t caught up with the times, though, and Edver is expecting a long, boring summer.
The island is a place that no one in Miami ever mentions without a sigh, but travel laws have suddenly changed, and now it\'s a lot easier for divided families to be reunited.
Edver isn\'t happy about being shipped off to Cuba to visit the father he barely knows.
