For nine-year-old Alejandria, home isn’t just the apartment she shares with Mami and her abuela, Tita, but rather the whole neighborhood. Home is the bakery where Ms. Beatrice makes yummy picos; the sidewalk where Ms. Alicia sells flowers with her little dog, Duende; and the corner store with friendly Mr. Amir.
But lately the city has been changing, and rent prices are going up. Many people in el barrio are leaving because they can no longer afford their homes, and For Sale signs are popping up everywhere. Then the worst thing happens: Mami receives a letter saying they’ll have to move out too.
Alejandria knows it isn’t fair, but she’s not about to give up and leave. Join Alejandria as she brings her community together to fight and save their neighborhood!
Para Alejandria de nueve anos, el hogar no es solo el apartamento que comparte con Mami y su abuela, Tita, sino mas bien todo el barrio. El hogar es la panaderia donde la Sra. Beatrice hace unos ricos picos; la vereda donde la Sra. Alicia vende flores con su perrito, Duende; y la pulperia con el amistoso Sr. Amir.
Pero ultimamente la ciudad ha estado cambiando, y los precios de alquiler estan subiendo. Muchas personas en el barrio se estan yendo porque ya no pueden costear sus hogares, y letreros anunciando Se Vende estan apareciendo por todos lados. Entonces ocurre lo peor: Mami recibe una carta diciendo que ellas tambien tendran que mudarse.
Alejandria sabe que no es justo, pero no esta dispuesta a darse por vencida e irse. !Unete a Alejandria mientras ella reune a su comunidad para luchar y salvar su barrio!
