A move from Quisqueya to Queens

Manu leaves the coastal life she knows in Quisqueya to live in Queens, New York, with her mother and half-brother. The description sets her sense of home—shaped by the coast and her grandmother’s embrace—against the unfamiliarity of a new place, while hinting that some parts of it may not be so different after all. The story’s biographical Latin American classification and Manu’s relocation give the book a clear focus on family, belonging, and the experience of starting over across places.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in stories about moving to a new city.
  • Readers curious about family connections and life between Quisqueya and Queens.
