Milagros: Girl from Away

(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Milagros escapes an attack on her Caribbean island home. Miraculously, she arrives at an island off the coast of Maine. Woven into the story of her new life are concurrent chapters set aboard her father's pirate ship. Medina's use of magical realism keeps readers tantalizingly off-balance. Milagros is a survivor, and her strange, haunting tale will remain with readers.
