From the publisher

Una novela juvenil en verso que cuenta la historia de una joven con grandes sueos.

Lula Viramonte anhela ser una persona a la que nadie pueda ignorar. Por eso quiere ser directora de en un circo ambulante mexicano. Perseguir sus sueos es difcil porque tiene que trabajar en la cosecha de uva en Delano, California; cuidar a su madre enferma, a sus hermanos y evitar que se desate el temperamento voltil de pap.

Entonces Lula conoce a Dolores Huerta, Larry Itliong y a otros activistas por los derechos de los agricultores y entiende que ella y su familia deben sumarse a la huelga que est a punto de estallar. Luchar es, tal vez, la nica forma de cambiar el futuro.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A young girl with big dreams meets activist Dolores Huerta and joins the 1965 protest for migrant workers' rights in this tender-hearted middle grade novel in verse, perfect for fans of Rita Williams-Garcia and Pam Muoz Ryan.

Lula Viramontes dreams of one day becoming someone whom no one can ignore: a daring ringleader in a Mexican traveling carpa, like the one she saw years ago while her family was working a harvest in Texas. But when the Teatro Campesino (the official theater company of the United Farm Workers) comes to their encampment in Delano, California, Lula meets activist Dolores Huerta and discovers an even more pressing reason to raise her voice: the upcoming farm workers' strike, an event that will determine her family's future--for better or worse.
