What the Moon Saw

Fourteen-year-old Clara Luna knows almost nothing about her father's early life-just that he entered the U.S. illegally from Mexico a long time ago. One day, she gets an invitation from her grandparents to spend the summer with them in Yucuyoo, the village her father grew up in. Clara agrees to go, but is shocked by life there: tiny shacks deep in the jungle, no electricity, a two-hour walk to the nearest market. Before long, however, Clara is feeling strangely at home.
