Fine in price-clipped jacket; Benjy Lopez is an 11-year-old boy who moves from California to Florida with his family in order to escape the heat. The family is originally from Mexico, but they have to move because of the political situation. While living in Florida, Benjy becomes very close to his Americanized cousin and starts to learn more about his family's history. When the family is forced to return to Mexico, Benjy is forced to make a difficult decision: stay in the United States and be part of a strange new culture, or go back to Mexico and live in a place he's never been before. Benjy's journey is both moving and humorous, and he comes to understand his family and himself in a way he never would have if he hadn't emigrated.; 8vo; [xxxviii] pages; $6.00.
