Bookroo's summary
Julian and his brothers are sent from Cuba to Miami, leaving everything behind. In a world where bullies rule and safety is uncertain, they must navigate their new reality. Can Julian protect his brothers and find a sense of belonging, or will the challenges of this unfamiliar land prove too great? As they struggle to adapt, the boys learn about courage, resilience, and the true meaning of family. What will it take for them to find their place in this new world?
