Edver's mother, a cryptozoologist originally from Cuba decides to send him to Cuba to visit his father for the summer. What she has never told him is that he has a sister - Luza. The book, told in alternating voices through poetry, is mainly about Edver and Luza learning about each other. There is also a lot about Cuban culture and the forest and a mysterious poacher that Edver and Luza unknowingly attracted to the island and now feel they need to capture.
There were parts I liked and the poetry itself was well done but overall the story was just kind of meh. I wish there had been more - especially about the dad.
