The Total Eclipse of Nestor Lopez by Adrianna Cuevas

4.0

An adventure story with heart. Nestor is a sweet middle school boy resisting settling in at his tenth school while his father is stationed in Iraq. Through their letters we witness a playful but deep and loving relationship. Meanwhile at school Nestor and his peers get involved in a neighborhood mystery involving missing animals. Lucky that Nestor talks to animals on the regular and is able to spearhead solving what becomes a dangerous situation. In doing so, he makes friends of all ages, strengthens family connections and learns about himself.
