How Tia Lola Saved the Summer Book

This is book three in the Tía Lola series. Tía Lola is Miguel and Juanita Guzman's great-aunt who is from the Dominican Republic. Tía Lola raised their mother, Linda, because Linda's parents died when she was three years old. Linda and the children moved to Vermont from New York when Linda and Miguel and Juanita's father divorced. Tía Lola came to the United States to help Linda with the kids. In this book, we see the emerging relationship between Linda and lawyer Victor Espada who has brought his three daughters and dog to Vermont for a week. Tía Lola makes the summer a fun, learning experience for all the children and adults. I enjoyed the series because it reminds me of my own huge, extended Latino family. The series also centers around changing family relationships, so it may be a good read to recommend to children whose parents may be separating or divorcing.
