**Four starred reviews!** A farm-working girl with big dreams meets
activist Dolores Huerta and joins the 1965 protest for workers'
rights in this tender-hearted novel in verse, perfect for fans of
Rita Williams-Garcia and Pam Munoz Ryan. Lula Viramontes aches to
one day become someone whom no one can ignore: a daring ringleader
in a Mexican traveling circus. But between working the grape
harvest in Delano, California, with her older siblings under
dangerous conditions; taking care of her younger siblings and Mama,
who has mysteriously fallen ill; and doing everything she can to
avoid Papa's volatile temper, it's hard to hold on to those dreams.
Then she meets Dolores Huerta, Larry Itliong, and other labor
rights activists and realizes she may need to raise her voice
sooner rather than later: Farmworkers are striking for better
treatment and wages, and whether Lula's family joins them or not
will determine their future.
