Lola : Edición En Español De Islandborn
by Junot Diaz
Todos los niños de la escuela de Lola venían de otra parte. Era una escuela de lugares lejanos. Así que cuando la maestra de Lola pide a los estudiantes que hagan un dibujo del lugar de donde emigraron sus familias, todos los niños se entusiasman. Todos, menos Lola. Ella no recuerda la Isla: se fue cuando era apenas un bebé. Pero con la ayuda de su familia, de sus amigos y de sus recuerdos --felices, maravillosos, tristes, aterradores--, la imaginación de Lola la lleva en un extraordinario viaje de regreso a la Isla. Cuando finalmente se acerca al corazón de la historia de su familia, Lola comprende el sentido de las palabras de su abuela: "Que no recuerdes un lugar no significa que no sea parte de ti."
