Soledad, de ocho años, teme volver a su solitaria casa todos los días después de la escuela. Se inventa una hermana imaginaria para hacerle compañía al principio, pero de la imaginación y la curiosidad de dos buenos amigos del barrio surge una solución mucho mejor. El premiado poeta y escritor Rigoberto González ha elaborado una delicada y conmovedora historia sobre la soledad de una niña latchkey y el ingenio vivo de sus amigos para lidiar con esta preocupación tan común.
