 Hi, my name is Christina, and I'm the Children's Librarian at the Bayview Branch Library. The book that I love is The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano, The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano by Sonja Manzano. We probably know her best as Maria on Sesame Street. This is her first book. The next time you're itching for historical fiction, let Sonja take you to 1969 in Spanish Harlem, El Barrio, where the slum-like conditions instigated a group of young activists to take action. The story focuses on Evelyn, a teenager caught in between the political upheaval of her community, between upheaval by the young lords and two fierce and opposing women in her life, her conservative political mother and her grandmother, who's sassy, radical, and has a past that we'll learn about. Even though this is a children's book, Manzano's narrative is fast-paced and gripping. Adults alike will appreciate the story, the political background, and I highly recommend it. I love this book!
