Barefoot Dreams of Petra Luna
Alda P. Dobbs
After soldiers take Petra’s father, she promises to look after the family still with her: her grandmother, younger sister Amelia, and baby brother Luisito. As their town burns, they head north across the desert in search of safety and a chance to reunite. Petra also clings to a personal hope of learning to read, even when her grandmother warns her that such hopes are not meant to travel far.
