Tough topics are addressed, but warmth and humor... bring lightness
to Sab's story. This immersive novel bursts with life. -Kirkus
Reviews, starred review When superstitious Sab sees a giant black
butterfly, an omen of death, she knows that she's doomed! According
to legend, she has one week before her fate catches up with her--on
her 11th birthday. With her time running out, all she wants is to
celebrate her birthday with her entire family. But her sister, Ate
Nadine, stopped speaking to their father one year ago, and Sab
doesn't even know why. If Sab's going to get Ate Nadine and their
father to reconcile, she'll have to overcome her fears--of her
sister's anger, of leaving the bubble of her sheltered community,
of her upcoming doom--and figure out the cause of their rift. So
Sab and her best friend Pepper start spying on Nadine and digging
into their family's past to determine why, exactly, Nadine won't
speak to their father. But Sab's adventures across Manila reveal
truths about her family more difficult--and dangerous--than she
ever anticipated. Was the Butterfly right? Perhaps Sab is doomed
after all!
