Book ID/图书代码： 10350006B05771

English Summary/英文概要： A delightfully entertaining story of family and culture from acclaimed author Julia Alvarez.

Moving to Vermont after his parents split, Miguel has plenty to worry about! Tía Lola, his quirky, carismática, and maybe magical aunt makes his life even more unpredictable when she arrives from the Dominican Republic to help out his Mami. Like her stories for adults, Julia Alvarez’s first middle-grade book sparkles with magic as it illuminates a child’s experiences living in two cultures.

小時候在老家多明尼加時印象中有許多阿姨們陪伴著我，有位Tití阿姨很喜歡看書，在腦中裡沒有她不知道的字；Tía Rosa阿姨很會傾聽別人，也燒的一手好菜；Tía Lulú阿姨很會說故事，也喜歡捉弄別人；還有臉上總是掛著微笑的Tía Idalita及情感相當豐富的Tía Laurita等。
這些阿姨們在我十歲時候隨著我搬到美國後，從此不再見到，而與她們的這些美好回只能默默藏在心裡。直到我開始動筆把這些回憶一一寫在這本書裡，彷彿他們也跟我一起來到美國，不過事實上魔術阿姨Tía Lola真的來了，她是為了照顧我和妹妹Juanita，她不僅將幫助我們如何克服生活上的問題，並讓我們體認親情、家庭及原生文化的重要性。(VL)

Awards/获奖情况："Like all good stories, this one incorporates a lesson just subtle enough that readers will forget they’re being taught, but in the end will understand themselves, and others, a little better, regardless of the la lengua nativa - the mother tongue. Simple, bella, un regalo permanente: simple and beautiful, a gift that will stay.”---Kirkus Reviews
