A Golden Kite Award Winner for Young Adult Fiction
From award-winning author Margarita Engle comes a ';[f]anciful, hopeful, and heartfelt' (Kirkus Reviews) love story told in verse about childhood friends, once lost and now reconnected, and their fight to protect endangered animals.
Every day, Vida reads to the creatures at the wildlife rescue center and dreams of her childhood in Cuba, where she and her best friend Adn adventured through the island rescuing animals from harm. Unbeknownst to her, Adn has also moved to Florida and is feeling trapped in his new home, buffeted by the stormy fights between his abuelo and papi. When a chance encounter with a captive fox leads to their reunion, Vida and Adn are able to find refuge from the cruelty that surrounds them in their soaring, rekindled romance.
Their love reaches new heights as they work together at the zoo that rescues rare species, but soon they realize that this peace is only temporary. Much like the wildlife they want to protect, Vida and Adn are caught in a cycle of distrust and heartlessness. As old family grudges and painful memories come to light, can they and their families learn to heal and forgive each other for a brighter, kinder future?
