"Isn’t winning the lottery supposed to be a good thing? Then why is Carlos so miserable? After his papi wins it big, his family moves away from Carlos’ friends, farm and beloved abuelo to live in the big city. Even that might be OK, but then Fidel Castro comes to power and suddenly everything changes again. Sumptuous watercolor art ripples off the pages, as the book provides the best explanation of the Cuban Revolution for kids I’ve ever read. There’s humor and some serious heart going on in these pages. Based on the experiences of the author’s father, this graphic novel brings historical fiction to an all-new level. (For ages 8 to 12)"
