Margarita's family moves from New Mexico to Wyoming so Papá can find railroad work during the Great Depression. Margarita misses home, but her curiosity and resourcefulness allow her to help her family financially, form new (and complex) friendships, and fight against bigotry both subtle and overt. Strong, intelligent Margarita is easy to root for in this quiet, satisfying historical story. An author's note adds context. Glos.
