This gorgeously romantic contemporary novel-in-verse from award-winning author Margarita Engle tells the inspiring and hopeful (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) love story of two teens fighting for climate action and human rights. nWinged beings are meant to be free. And so are artists, but the Cuban government has criminalized any art that doesnt meet their approval. Soleida and her parents protest this injustice with their secret sculpture garden of chained birds. Then a hurricane exposes the illegal art, and her parents are arrested. n nSoleida escapes to Central America alone, joining the thousands of Cuban refugees stranded in Costa Rica while seeking asylum elsewhere. There she meets Dariel, a Cuban American boy whose enigmatic music enchants birds and animals--and Soleida. n nTogether they work to protect the environment and bring attention to the imprisoned artists in Cuba. Soon they discover that love isnt about falling--its about soaring together to new heights. But wings can be fragile, and Soleida and Dariel come from different worlds. They are fighting for a better future--and the chance to be together.n
