From Newbery Medalist and New York Times best-selling author Meg Medina comes the bittersweet story of two girls who will always be each otherâs número uno, even though one is moving away.
A big truck with its mouth wide open is parked at the curb, ready to gobble up Evelynâs mirror with the stickers around the edge . . . and the sofa that we bounce on to get to the moon.
Evelyn Del Rey is Danielaâs best friend. They do everything together and even live in twin apartments across the street from each other: Daniela with her mami and hamster, and Evelyn with her mami, papi, and cat. But not after todayânot after Evelyn moves away. Until then, the girls play amid the moving boxes until itâs time to say goodbye, making promises to keep in touch, because they know that their friendship will always be special. The tenderness of Meg Medinaâs beautifully written story about friendship and change is balanced by Sonia Sánchezâs colorful and vibrant depictions of the girlsâ urban neighborhood.
