I knew this was YA, but it is definitely closer to "young" than "adult". Oh well.

Story of a pair of young children having to leave Cuba at the time of the revolution. Beautifully written and hankers to a more innocent time. I can't think what the modern day equivalent would look like. Good to pair with "Stormy Seas" and other displacement / refugee stories
