Bookroo's summary
Felita's world turns upside down when her family moves to a new neighborhood. Her grandmother, Abuelita, is the only one who understands her longing for her old home and best friend, Gigi. As Felita faces hostility from neighbors who see her as different, she must navigate the challenges of fitting in while staying true to herself. Will Felita find acceptance, or will the prejudice of others overshadow her hopes for happiness?
From the publisher
Felita’s parents promise she will love their new neighborhood. Only Abuelita, her grandmother, understands how much Felita will miss her old block, and her best friend Gigi. But her new neighbors taunt and tease Felita and her family because they are from Puerto Rico. First published twenty years ago, Felita’s compelling story has resonance for kids today.”An honest, realistic view of an important aspect of contemporary American life.” –The Horn Book
