Un ano de revelaciones culmina con una actuacion llena de sorpresas, mientras dos ninas descubren su lugar en el mundo. Un ano de revelaciones culmina con una actuacion llena de sorpresas, mientras dos ninas descubren su lugar en el mundo.

Mexico es el pais de sus padres, pero no el de Margie. Ella ha logrado convencer a sus companeros de escuela que es cien por ciento estadounidense, igual que ellos. Pero cuando Lupe, su prima mexicana, va a vivir a su casa, la imagen de si misma que habia creado se deshace.

La situacion de Lupe no es facil. Siente que su casa de Mexico no es un hogar desde que el padre se fue al norte. La esperanza de poder encontrarlo en los Estados Unidos le da algo de consuelo, pero aprender un idioma nuevo en una escuela nueva representa un gran desafio. Al igual que Margie, Lupe necesita una amiga.

Poco a poco, los pasos de cada nina van encontrando el ritmo de un baile compartido, a medida que descubren el verdadero significado del hogar. Siguiendo la tradicion de Me llamo Maria Isabel, Alma Flor Ada y su hijo Gabriel M. Zubizarreta ofrecen un relato honesto de los valores de la familia y de la amistad, y de la experiencia que debe atravesar el inmigrante: volverse parte de algo nuevo y, a la vez, conservar la propia identidad.
