Description
"Davico lives with his family on the second floor of La Casita -- the Little House -- in Guatemala City in the 1950s. But it's not just a little house -- it's also a restaurant! Davico and his brother Felipe love to spend time playing in the restaurant kitchen watching the lobster they've named Genghis Khan crawl around its glass tank. But one day, Davico hears shooting in the streets. There are blackouts every evening, and people stop coming to the restaurant. Finally, Davico's parents tell him that it's time to leave for the United States of America, where no one speaks Spanish, and everything is different."--,Provided by publisher.
