Description
On a road trip toward Havana, a boy and his father nurse their very old car through the bumps and breakdowns of the journey, driven by love and responsibility for a newborn cousin’s “zero-year” birthday. As the miles unfold, the trip becomes a window into family bonds, everyday ingenuity, and the rhythms of life in Cuba—where even a struggling engine can symbolize hope and perseverance. Blending vivid sensory detail with a child’s perspective, this story explores themes of heritage, community, and the ways people keep going when resources are limited. With Margarita Engle’s lyrical, accessible storytelling and her attention to cultural texture, readers will feel the warmth of the destination long before they reach it.
