A big truck with its mouth wide open is parked at the curb, ready to
gobble up Evelyn's mirror with the stickers around the edge...and the
sofa that we bounce on to get to the moon.Evelyn Del Rey is Daniela's
best friend. They do everything together and even live in twin
apartments across the street from each other: Daniela with her mami and
hamster, and Evelyn with her mami, papi, and cat. But not after
today--not after Evelyn moves away. Until then, the girls play amid the
moving boxes until it's time to say goodbye, making promises to keep in
touch, because they know that their friendship will always be special.
The tenderness of Meg Medina's beautifully written story about
friendship and change is balanced by Sonia Sánchez's colorful and
vibrant depictions of the girls' urban neighborhood.
