Breathe And Count Back From Ten
In this gorgeously written and authentic novel, Verónica, a Peruvian-American teen with hip dysplasia, auditions to become a mermaid at a Central Florida theme park in the summer before her senior year, all while figuring out her first real boyfriend and how to feel safe in her own body. Verónica has had many surgeries to manage her disability. The best form of rehabilitation is swimming, so she spends hours in the pool, but not just to strengthen her body. Her Florida town is home to Mermaid Cove, a kitschy underwater attraction where professional mermaids perform in giant tanks . . . and Verónica wants to audition. But her conservative Peruvian parents would never go for it. And they definitely would never let her be with Alex, her cute new neighbor. She decides it’s time to seize control of her life, but her plans come crashing down when she learns her parents have been hiding the truth from her—the truth about her own body.

Mariana's father is running for the highest office in the land. Mari knows he'll make a good president, but for her, the campaign is turning into a nightmare. From a disastrous live TV tour of their home to doctored photos that go viral, she is right in the middle of it all-and not in a good way. Worse, until now, she was unaware of her father's political positions. But as the campaign heats up, Mari finds it harder to ignore not just the news but the growing student activism at her school, activism that seems pointedly against her father. She has always known him to be a good, generous man, but maybe he isn't who she thought he was. And confronting him ... well, that's not an option. Or is it? This inspiring, authentic, and gorgeously written novel about waking up and speaking up will stay with you long after the last page is turned.

"I was charmed by this novel from the start . . . This is the tangled history of one family's past and present both here and beyond. Sylvester's gift is that she's able to infuse it, in more ways than one, with extraordinary spirit and life." -CRISTINA HENRÍQUEZ, author of The Book of Unknown Americans The first time Isabel meets her father-in-law, Omar, he's already dead-an apparition appearing uninvited on her wedding day. Her husband, Martin, still unforgiving for having been abandoned by his father years ago, confesses that he never knew the old man had died. So Omar asks Isabel for the impossible: persuade Omar's family-especially his wife, Elda-to let him redeem himself. Isabel and Martin settle into married life in a Texas border town, and Omar returns each year on the celebratory Day of the Dead. Every year Isabel listens, but to the aggrieved Martin and Elda, Omar's spirit remains invisible. Through his visits, Isabel gains insight into not just the truth about his disappearance and her husband's childhood but also the ways grief can eat away at love. When Martin's teenage nephew crosses the Mexican border and takes refuge in Isabel and Martin's home, questions about past and future homes, borders, and belonging arise that may finally lead to forgiveness-and alter all their lives forever.
