McCall,
G. (2011). Under the mesquite. New York: Lee & Low Books.
As the oldest of eight siblings, Lupita is used to taking
the lead—and staying busy behind the scenes to help keep everyone together. But
when she discovers Mami has been diagnosed with cancer, Lupita is terrified by
the possibility of losing her mother, the anchor of her close-knit Mexican
American family. Suddenly Lupita must face a whole new set of challenges, with
new roles to play, and no one is handing her the script.
