Your Heart, My Sky: Love in a Time of Hunger by Margarita Engle

3.0

This novel in verse takes place in Cuba after the USSR was dissolved and Cuba is no longer receiving aid from them. This has a devastating effect on the the citizens of Cuba who are slowly starving to death. Told from alternating perspectives of a teenage girl and boy, we come to understand the choices so many people made to make the dangerous journey by raft to Florida or to buy and sell food on the black market. For grades 7 & up.
