| Publisher Description: Winner of a Pura Belpre Award, this middle grade Cuban American coming-of-age novel is inspired by the author's own experience.

Contributor Bio(s): Flores-Galbis, Enrique: - Enrique Flores-Galbis, at age nine, was one of fourteen thousand children who left Cuba in 1961, without their parents, in a mass exodus called Operation Pedro Pan. He and his two older brothers spent months in a refugee camp in southern Florida. His historical novel 90 Miles to Havana was inspired by that experience. Currently he lives in Forest Hills, New York, with his family. |
