Description

Violet Paz has just turned fifteen, a pivotal birthday in the eyes of her Cuban grandmother. Fifteen is the age when a girl enters womanhood, traditionally celebrating the occasion with a “quinceanero.” But while Violet may be half Cuban, she’s also half Polish, and more importantly, she feels 100% American. So when she begrudgingly accepts Abuela’s plans for a “quinceanero” -- and as she begins to ask questions about her Cuban roots -- cultures and feeling collide in this thought-provoking and humorous novel. A Pura Belpre Honor Book. An ALA Notable Book. An ALA Best Book for Young Adults. An Americas Award Honor Book. A Booklist Top Ten First Novel for Youth. A New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age.
