Thanks to Edelweiss for a advanced digital review copy. A cute story set in the 1980's. There's a lot of Mexican American history brought into the story by Abuela who is dealing with Alzheimers. The kids are dealing with parental separation, grief, and growing up. The serious and the downright fun make for a good story.
