Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away

<p><b>From Newbery Medalist Meg Medina the bittersweet story of two girls who will always be each other&#146;s n&#250;mero uno even though one is moving away.</b><br><br><i>A big truck with its mouth wide open is parked at the curb. Already it has gobbled up Evelyn&#146;s mirror with heart stickers around the edge ... and the sofa that we bounce on to get to the moon.</i><br><br>Evelyn Del Rey is Daniela&#146;s best friend. They do everything together and even live in twin apartments right across the street from each other: Daniela with her mami and hamster and Evelyn with her mami papi and cat. But not after today &#150; not after Evelyn moves away. The girls play amid the moving boxes until it&#146;s time to say goodbye making promises to keep in touch because they know that their friendship will always be special. The tenderness of Meg Medina&#146;s beautifully written story about friendship and change is balanced by Sonia S&#225;nchez&#146;s colourful and vibrant depictions of the girls&#146; urban neighbourhood.</p>
