A Maximiliano Câordoba le encantan las historias, especialmente la leyenda que le cuenta Buelo sobre un mâitico guardiâan que ayuda a los viajeros valientes de corazâon puro en un viaje a la tierra del maänana. Si Max pudiera ver el maänana, sabrâia si lo aceptarâan en el famoso club de fâutbol de Santa Marâia y si alguna vez encontrarâa a su madre, quien desapareciâo cuando âel era bebâe. Quiere saber mâas de ella, pero su papâa no quiere hablar; asâi que cuando Max descubre un secreto familiar que involucra una red subterrâanea de guardianes que ayudan a la gente a huir a la seguridad del paâis vecino, decide buscar las respuestas por su cuenta.

Esperanza thought she'd always live with her family on their ranch in Mexico--she'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home, & servants. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California during the Great Depression, and to settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard labor, financial struggles, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When their new life is threatened, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances--Mama's life and her own depend on it.

The inspiration of the ocean will make learning the five senses in English and Spanish as easy as a day at the beach.Crisp, realistic illustrations fill the pages with the rush of surf and the warmth of sun-baked sand.
