<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Sofia grows up in the close-knit community of the barrio in McAllen, Texas, then finds that her experiences as a scholarship student at an Episcopal boarding school in Austin only strengthen her ties to family and her "comrades."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Sofia comes from a family of storytellers. Here are her tales of growing up in the barrio, full of the magic and mystery of family traditions: making Easter <i>cascarones</i>, celebrating <i>el Dia de los Muertos, </i>preparing for <i>quincea-era, </i>rejoicing in the Christmas <i>nacimiento</i>, and curing homesickness by eating the tequila worm. When Sofia is singled out to receive a scholarship to an elite boarding school, she longs to explore life beyond the barrio, even though it means leaving her family to navigate a strange world of rich, privileged kids. It's a different <i>mundo</i>, but one where Sofia's traditions take on new meaning and illuminate her path.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Viola Canales is the author of <i>Orange Candy Slices and Other Secret Tales </i>(Arte Publico Press). She lives in Stanford, California.
