Lula Viramontes dreams of joining a traveling circus, but between working the grape harvest in Delano, California, and caring for her siblings and ailing mother, her dreams feel out of reach until she meets labor activist Dolores Huerta during the 1965 farmworkers' strike. Told in verse, the novel blends the historical Delano grape strike with one girl's coming of age. This is a powerful choice for students because it makes the farmworkers' rights movement personal and immediate.
