Description

In English and Spanish.Long ago, in the small town of Jáltipan in tropical Mexico, Juan Sebastián left home to fight in the Mexican Revolution. That was his destiny. Years later, young Lucha and her brother, Víctor, sneak into the house which people say is haunted by Juan Sebastián's ghost.In her first book for children, award-winning author Lucha Corpi remembers her childhood growing up in Jáltipan, where the moon hung low and the fireflies flickered in the night air. In vivid and poetic detail, she recalls exploring the old haunted house of Juan Sebastián with her brother, discovering the music that came from the jukebox at the local cantina, and getting caught by their mother for their mischievious adventures. Most of all, she remembers the ballads her father sand tand the stories her grandmother told.Instilled with the love of music and stories and the inspiration to find her destiny, Lucha, like Juan Sebastián, eventually left home to do what she was born to do--become a writer. Where Fireflies Dance is Lucha Corpi's warm nostalgic look at home and family love.
