El Niño

Pam Muñoz Ryan

Kai Sosa wants to regain the swimming ability he once had on an elite team, but his times have changed since his sister Cali disappeared while surfing two years earlier. He is still haunted by dreams of Cali and by her request that he find her missing gold cuff. The magic of El Niño brings him visions of a mythical Amazonian queen, where myth, memory, and reality begin to meet as Kai confronts grief and hope.
