 A Pura Belpré Young Adult Author Honor Book

 

In this stirring young adult novel-in-verse from award-winning author Margarita Engle, love and conservation intertwine as two teens go on a "transformative journey celebrating the power of overcoming personal struggles to make a lasting impact" (Kirkus Reviews).

Ana and her mother have been living out of their car ever since her militant father became one of the FBI's most wanted. Leandro has struggled with debilitating anxiety since his family fled Cuba on a perilous raft.

 

One moonlit night, in a wilderness park in California, Ana and Leandro meet. Their connection is instant-a shared radiance that feels both scientific and magical. Then they discover they are not alone: a huge mountain lion stalks through the trees, one of many wild animals whose habitat has been threatened by humans.

 

Determined to make a difference, Ana and Leandro start a rewilding club at their school, working with scientists to build wildlife crossings that can help mountain lions find one another. If pumas can find their way to a better tomorrow, surely Ana and Leandro can too.]]></description><link>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16374394</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16374394</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Engle, Margarita]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/16374394981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781797177694/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wings in the Wild]]></title><description><![CDATA[This gorgeously romantic contemporary novel-in-verse from award-winning author Margarita Engle tells the inspiring love story of two teens fighting for climate action and human rights.

Winged beings are meant to be free. And so are artists, but the Cuban government has criminalized any art that doesn't meet their approval. Soleida and her parents protest this injustice with their secret sculpture garden of chained birds. Then a hurricane exposes the illegal art, and her parents are arrested.

Soleida escapes to Central America alone, joining the thousands of Cuban refugees stranded in Costa Rica while seeking asylum elsewhere. There she meets Dariel, a Cuban American boy whose enigmatic music enchants birds and animals, and Soleida.

Together they work to protect the environment and bring attention to the imprisoned artists in Cuba. Soon they discover that love isn't about falling, it's about soaring together to new heights. But wings can be fragile, and Soleida and Dariel come from different worlds. They are fighting for a better future, and the chance to be together.]]></description><link>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15364702</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15364702</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Engle, Margarita]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/15364702981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781797156811/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny Finds Her Way]]></title><description><![CDATA[Explore the Costa Rican rainforest with Destiny, a rescued orphan baby sloth who must learn to return to the wild, in this heartwarming true story from Newbery Honor winner Margarita Engle.

But as night falls, their task begins to feel hopeless, until they spot a small black dog who is in need of a friend. This sweet story presents an important Hindu holiday through the eyes of two young boys, making it relatable for both those familiar with the holiday and those reading about it for the first time.]]></description><link>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12178925</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12178925</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Engle, Margarita, Karanjit, Amish, Karanjit, Nicole]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12178925981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Holiday Story from Nepal</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781541537873/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bravo!]]></title><description><![CDATA[Musician, botanist, baseball player, pilot, the Latinos featured in “Bravo!”, from author Margarita Engle and illustrator Rafael López, come from many different countries and from many different backgrounds.

Long ago on an island filled with music, no one questioned that rule-until the drum dream girl. In her city of drumbeats, she dreamed of pounding tall congas and tapping small bongós. She had to keep quiet. She had to practice in secret. But when at last her dream-bright music was heard, everyone sang and danced and decided that both girls and boys should be free to drum and dream. Inspired by the childhood of Millo Castro Zaldarriaga, a Chinese-African-Cuban girl who broke Cuba's traditional taboo against female drummers, Drum Dream Girl tells an inspiring true story for dreamers everywhere.]]></description><link>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11648341</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://llc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11648341</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Engle, Margarita]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://llc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11648341981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781666590357/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Orangutanka]]></title><description><![CDATA[All the orangutans are ready for a nap in the sleepy depths of the afternoon... all except one.

The sailors he toils under call him el quebrado-half islander, half outsider, a broken one. Now the pirate captain Bernardino de Talavera uses Quebrado as a translator to help navigate the worlds and words between his mother's Taíno Indian language and his father's Spanish.

But when a hurricane sinks the ship and most of its crew, it is Quebrado who escapes to safety. He learns how to live on land again, among people who treat him well. And it is he who must decide the fate of his former captors.
