In 2017, less than three weeks after Salvador Gómez-Colón’s
fifteenth birthday, Puerto Rico was struck by a historic Category 4
hurricane. Residents were completely caught in the dark; news about
Hurricane Maria broke only two days before it made landfall.
Salvador and his family fared better than most, but many in his
community were left with destroyed homes and little access to basic
resources. Unable to ignore this suffering, Salvador put his good
fortune to good use, starting a fund-raising campaign that would
bring solar-powered lamps and hand-powered washing machines to
thousands of families in need. This Spanish-language edition of
Salvador’s propulsive first-person narrative brings a compelling
story of determination, compassion, and hope to a wider audience.
“A harrowing tale of survival and an inspiring tale of
altruism.”— School Library Journal, starred review

compassion.”—Booklist, starred review
