Miguel has moved from New York to rural Vermont because of his parent's divorce. He's worried about being different and trying to make new friends. He's confused when Tía Lola arrives to help, unsure if he should he be embarrassed or comforted by her lively personality and exotic style. Will she be able to help get his parents back together with her special magic, help him make the baseball team, and what about their now purple house? Alvarez creates a colorful character in Tía Lola and this is the first of many books featuring her character. Teachers may find the available Educator's Guide helpful.
4 of 5 Stars. Recommended.
