Emilio has just moved from the country to the city after losing his father. Still mourning, like the rest of the family, he is forced to start school, make new friends, and adapt to a new environment. He feels overwhelmed by memories of his dead father and nostalgic from missing his life in the country. This story explores life in the country vs. life in the city, prejudice, and the challenge of finding one’s place after a life-altering event. It is an excellent vehicle to make the reader think about their own behavior.
