A summer in the Sierra Nevada

For Tiana, climbing trees offers a sense of freedom amid a life shaped by moves from Cuba to Montreal, Florida, and California. A summer camping in the Sierra Nevada with her biologist parents brings her into the orbit of Tree Dog, found high in an aspen. The family’s wildlife survey gives the story a conservation thread, while its description also points to immigration and book banning as part of its wider subject matter. The adventure can be read on its own or alongside Margarita Engle’s *Mountain Dog*.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ages 9–12 interested in stories about dogs and outdoor adventure.
  • Readers curious about conservation, immigration, or book banning in children’s fiction.
  • Those looking for a standalone story or a companion to *Mountain Dog*.

Book overview

Climbing trees is how Tiana finds peace. Every time she touches the sky she feels strong and free.

After moving from Cuba to Montreal to Florida to California, peace is something Tiana needs now more than ever. But with the summer ahead full of camping in La Sierra Nevada while her biologist parents help conduct a wildlife survey, peace seems like more and more of a distant fantasy. It's not until finding Tree Dog nestled at the top of a towering aspen that she realizes a little bit of chaos might just be worth the trouble. . .

With timely themes about book banning, immigration, and conservation, this is a heartfelt story perfect for reading as a companion to Margarita Engle's critically acclaimed Mountain Dog or as a standalone for anyone looking for a poetic ecoadventure.
