Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Because Yumi Ruz-Hirsch has grandparents from Japan, Cuba, and Brooklyn, her mother calls her a poster child for the twenty-first century. Yumi would laugh if only her life wasn't getting as complicated as her heritage. All of a sudden she's starting eighth grade with a girl who collects tinfoil and a boy who dresses like a squid. Her mom's found a new boyfriend, and her punk-rock father still can't sell a song. She's losing her house; she's losing her school orchestra. And worst of all she's losing her grandfather Saul. Yumi wishes everything could stay the same. But as she listens to Saul tell his story, she learns that nobody ever asks you if you're ready for life to happen. It just happens. The choice is either to sit and watch or to join the dance. National Book Award finalist Cristina Garca's first middle-grade novel celebrates the chaotic, crazy, and completely amazing patchwork that makes up our lives. Yumi Ruz-Hirsch would laugh if only her life wasn't becoming as complicated as her heritage. Worst of all she's losing her grandfather Saul. Yumi wishes everything could stay the same. But as she listens to Saul tell his story, she learns that life just happens. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
