Description
Ahora disponible en espanol, la animada novela juvenil en verso de la galardonada autora Margarita Engle sobre un nino cubanoamericano que visita el pueblo de su familia en Cuba por primera vez y conoce a una hermana que no sabia que tenia. A Edver no le hace ninguna gracia que lo envien a Cuba a ver al padre que apenas conoce. Sin embargo, ahora que las leyes de viaje han cambiado y es mucho mas facil reunir a las familias divididas, su mama piensa que es hora de que padre e hijo pasen tiempo juntos. Edver no se imagina lo que le depara el verano, !pero definitivamente no espera conocer a la hermana que ni siquiera sabia que existia! Luza es un ano mayor y esta muy entusiasmada por conocer a su hermanito, hasta que se da cuenta de cuan diferentes han sido sus vidas. A la busca de cualquier cosa que puedan tener en comun, se meten en internet y accidentalmente atraen la atencion de un peligroso cazador de animales salvajes. Edver ha luchado contra muchisimos villanos en los videojuegos. Ahora, para salvar la selva que tanto quieren, !Luza y el tendran que encontrar un modo de derrotar a un villano real!
