Synopsis: Sofia comes from a family of storytellers. Here are her tales of growing up in the barrio in McAllen, Texas, full of the magic and mystery of family traditions: making Eastercascarones, celebratingel Dia de los Muertos, preparing forquinceanera, rejoicing in the Christmasnacimiento, and curing homesickness by eating the tequila worm. When Sofia is singled out to receive a scholarship to 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. Its a different mundo, but one where Sofias traditions take on new meaning and illuminate her path. From the Hardcover edition.
