Originally published in Spanish as: Cuando tía Lola vino de visita a quedarse. New York : Yearling, 2004.
Esta novela "cuenta la deliciosa historia de una familia dominicana, instalada en Vermont, que recibe la visita de una pariente muy especial. La irresistible, incontrolable e incluso mágica tía Lola transforma la vida de su familia. Sombreros, pañuelos, vestidos alegres, tacones, maracas, un tambor para las fiestas, café, hierbabuena, orégano, anís, hojas de guanábana, ajíes--su alegría invade la casa y--poco a poco--a todo el pueblo. Un relato rico, cálido y lleno de humor que nos llevará a soñar con la posibilidad de tener una tía tan entrañable como tía Lola.
Moving to Vermont after his parents' divorce, ten-year-old Miguel has plenty to worry about! Tía Lola, his colorful, quirky, carismática, and maybe even magical great-aunt, makes his life even more unpredictable when she arrives from the Dominican Republic to stay with him, his mother, and his sister to help out his Mami. But in spite of his initial embarrassment, Miguel learns to love her. 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.
