Description
Sofía Acosta Makes a Scene by Emma Otheguy is a poignant coming-of-age story about a young girl trying to find her place in the world. Sofía's love for dance and costume design helps her navigate her family's cultural heritage and her own identity. When Sofía's dancer friends from Cuba visit, she learns that there's more to her family than just ballet. As they share stories and traditions, Sofía begins to understand the complexities of her community. But when a secret plan to defect to the United States is revealed, Sofía must confront the prejudices of those around her. As Sofía struggles to make sense of it all, she must decide whether to speak up or keep quiet. Will she find a way to figure out where she belongs?
