(3) 4-6 After a difficult move from Chicago to Puerto Rico, thirteen-year-old Luz finds strength and comfort in time spent with her aging grandfather. Though the story is not new (father leaves, mother remarries, one sibling courts self-destruction), Luz relates these events in a fresh, clear voice that involves the reader and offers hope.
