The Things We Didn’t Know
by Elba Iris Pérez

“Caught between two worlds, a girl born in Puerto Rico struggles to find her place in 1950s and ’60s America … Author Pérez does an exceptional job of telling a story from a child’s perspective … A coming-of-age tale that beautifully evokes the contrasting environments of Puerto Rico and Massachusetts.” (Kirkus Reviews)​
