Publisher's summary

De cómo tía Lola vino de visita a quedarse, una novela juvenil de Julia Alvarez, cuenta la deliciosa historia de una familia dominicana, instalada en Vermont, que recibe la visita de una pariente muy especial. La irresistible, incontrolable e incluso mágica tía Lola transforma la vida de su familia. Sombreros, pañuelos, vestidos alegres, tacones, maracas, un tambor par alas fiestas, café, hierbabuena, orégano, anís, hojas de guanábana, ajíes…, su alegría invade la casa y—poco a poco—a todo el pueblo. Un relato rico, cálido y lleno de humor, que nos llevará a sonar con la posibilidad de tener una tía tan entrañable como tía Lola.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Julia Alvarez’s heartwarming novel—now in Spanish.

A delightfully entertaining story of family and culture from acclaimed author Julia Alvarez.

Moving to Vermont after his parents split, Miguel has plenty to worry about! Tía Lola, his quirky, carismática, and maybe magical aunt makes his life even more unpredictable when she arrives from the Dominican Republic to help out his Mami. Like her stories for adults, Julia Alvarez’s first middle-grade book sparkles with magic as it illuminates a child’s experiences living in two cultures.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Great book!

The story was very emotional. The only think I didn't like was that the narrator had more like a Cuban accent rather than a Dominican accent; this can be really harmful to the localization of the book and to the audience.

too many theatrics

the storyteller felt it necessary to make her story baby-like when I he 7 year old was speaking and very gruff when the 13,year old was speaking. it too away from the story and was incredibly annoying,
