Description
In this lyrical novel in verse, a young girl named Ana dreams of becoming a drummer, even as her family’s expectations and the rhythms of her community seem to pull her in other directions. When she discovers the power of music to carry both grief and hope, Ana finds the courage to claim her voice and build a future shaped by her own beat. Blending vivid imagery with a story that moves between childhood and the legacy of those who came before, the book explores identity, perseverance, and the healing force of art. Margarita Engle’s acclaimed, emotionally resonant style turns every page into a song—inviting readers to feel the music as much as they read the story.
