All for the better: A Story of El Barrio


Title: All For The Better: A Story of El Barrio
Author: Nicholasa Mohr
Multicultural/International #2

All For The Better A Story of El Barrio is about an eleven year old, Evelina Lopez during the dark day of the Great Depression. Evelina Lopez leaves Puerto Rico to live with her aunt in New York City. In this story Evelina learns that one person can make a difference as she adjusts to her life in her new home. Evelina in this story made a difference in her community.

I truly enjoyed this book because it was very enlightening to see what this girl had to go though during the great depression. I would recommend that children should read this book because it could help them see what hard times this was on people.
