"""Employing stunningly immersive verse and distinct alternating perspectives, Engle sets Soleida and Dariel’s developing relationship against a backdrop of advocacy to present a profoundly romantic read that prioritizes topical issues, such as environmental and refugee crises, and political oppression of artists."" -- <I>Publishers Weekly</I>, STARRED REVIEW ""This novel-in-verse exposes readers to the realities of Cuban refugees in South America and the persecution they faced in their home county. . . It is also a story of hope. Hope in a younger generation which is fighting for climate change and for reforestation. And, finally, it is a story of love. . . Highly Recommended."" -- School Library Connection *""Luscious verse and beautiful descriptions of the flora and fauna bring attention to the impacts of the climate crisis and the urgent need for change.
