Silver Meadows Summer by Emma Otheguy

5.0

Love the integration of two famous poets from two cultures into the plot of the book and the main character's internal narrative. Such a beautiful metaphor for her effort to forge a new life in upstate New York without leaving behind her memories of her home in Puerto Rico or her cultural identity and practices.

Sweet book that feels equally authentic to its pre-teen narrator in both its description of fairies and of racism. Giving copies to the middle schoolers in my life!
