Translated by David Unger.
Illustrated by
Caroline Merola.
After Bel finds a photograph of her great-grandmother Beatrice, whom she never met, she starts to hear her great-grandmother talking to her. Bel is delighted--until Bisa Bea tells her to be a demure young lady. Luckily, Bel's internal future great-granddaughter tells her to stand up for herself. Though somewhat didactic, this book by award-winning Brazilian author Machado is nevertheless engaging.
