(4) 4-6 Living in her father's mausoleum in Manila's North Cemetery, Nora learns to rely on community support while trying to rescue her mother from gambling debts. Though lengthy descriptions of Filipino culture tend to slow down the high-stakes plot, this is a moving and eye-opening story with well-developed characters. Back matter includes a glossary of Tagalog words, an author's note, and discussion questions.
