Una novela mágica de debut de grado medio llena de miembros de la familia, santería y poderosos orishas, ambientada en la ciudad de Nueva York.
Maya Beatriz Montenegro Calderón, de trece años, tiene vívidos sueños recurrentes donde escucha el océano llamándola. El lado de la familia de Mami es conocido como "Los Locos", así que tal vez en realidad se esté volviendo loca. Pero no hay tiempo para eso; el negocio familiar está donde está. Siempre que Maya, su hermana Salma y sus tres primos, Ini, Mini y Mo, no están en la escuela, generalmente puedes encontrar tres generaciones de Calderones en Café Taza, sirviendo sándwiches de pernil, mofongo y los mejores cafés con leche de todo Brooklyn. Un día, una visita inesperada de la distanciada Titi Yaya de Puerto Rico lo cambia todo. Debido a que Yaya practica santería, Abuela le dice a Maya y a los otros niños Calderón que se mantengan alejados de ella. Pero si la viejita está realmente alejada de la familia, ¿por qué Maya se siente tan conectada con esta mujer que nunca ha conocido antes? ¿Y quién es este orisha llamado Yemaya? Además de averiguar todo esto, Maya tiene una carrera futbolística en ciernes a considerar, mientras se defiende del matón local y se enfrenta a sentimientos incipientes hacia su compañera de equipo. Pero a pesar de todo, existe esa conexión atractiva con una práctica antigua prohibida, llena de un panteón de dioses y diosas yorubanas, que sigue tirando de ella, ofreciéndole una nueva perspectiva en la vida, vinculando su pasado a su presente y futuro. ¿Qué camino elegirá Maya para cumplir su destino?Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "A magical debut middle-grade novel filled with loud but loving family members, santeria, and powerful orishas, set in New York City. Thirteen-year-old Maya Beatriz Montenegro Calderon has vivid recurring dreams where she hears the ocean calling her. Mami's side of the family is known as "Los Locos," so maybe she actually is going crazy. But no time for that; the family business is where it's at. Whenever Maya, her sister Salma, and her three cousins, Ini, Mini, and Mo, aren't at school, you can usually find three generations of Calderones at Cafe Taza, serving up sandwiches de pernil, mofongo, and the best cafes con leche in all of Brooklyn. One day, an unexpected visit from the estranged Titi Yaya from Puerto Rico changes everything. Because Yaya practices santeria, Abuela tells Maya and the other Calderon children to stay away from her. But If la viejita is indeed estranged from the family, why does Maya feel so connected to this woman she has never met before? And who is this orisha named Yemaya? On top of figuring all this out, Maya has a budding soccer career to consider, while fending off the local bully, and dealing with nascent feelings toward her teammate. But through it all, there's that alluring connection to a forbidden ancient practice--filled with a pantheon of Yoruban gods and goddesses--that keeps tugging at her, offering her a new perspective in life, tying her past to her present and future. Which path will Maya choose to fulfill her destiny?" Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798885798037
