Julian's parents send him and his brothers away from Havana's violence to Miami as part of Operation Pedro Pan. Unfortunately, there the boys are initiated into a culture of bullies and gangs. In this coming-of-age story based on Flores-Galbis's own experiences, readers get an authentic glimpse of the struggles of children living on their own and far from their homeland.

When Cuban landlord Don Rigol threatens the herd of wild ponies that Enriquito and Ernestina have discovered, their efforts to protect the horses result in a series of adventures complete with lost treasure, a vicious crocodile, a mysterious locket, a jailbreak, and a very unusual trial. Flores-Galbis's blend of magical realism and action animates this tale of friendship and justice.
