Beautiful Perspective

This book gives a beautiful and rarely seen perspective of Puerto Rican life and its people. It is a good addition to any library(...)

In the Shade of the Nispero Tree

This family oriented historical is set in Puerto Rico amongst 4th grade girlfriends. A well read perspective on cliques, class division and affluent society in another country! An excellent book and will be of interest to the 5th through the 8th grades, including parents and teachers. Highly recommended reading.
