LAST SUMMER AT 67 MESEROLE: Some Legends Follow You Home (Joshua's Bicicleta Chronicles) - Softcover
Synopsis
Some legends follow you home.
Brooklyn, 1968. From a fifth-floor window at 67 Meserole, eight-year-old Joshua Fuentes watches the block and files what he sees. His mother's hand flat on the counter. His father behind the register of a failing store. A name off the Spanish radio that no adult will explain: Toño Bicicleta.
That summer is the last one at number 67. The telephone company buys the block, the family moves down the street, and his father is the one who has to knock.
Then a warm day in February, an orange bicycle, one corner past the rule, and a thin man with a blade.
Three weeks later Joshua is in Puerto Rico, where his cousins swear the legend is loose in the mountains.
Last Summer at 67 Meserole is a coming-of-age story with a noir heart, about what gets taken, what gets kept, and what follows you home.
Second edition. Previously published as The Stolen Summer.

It is a story about migration and memory: what a family carries across dark water, what a father cannot say aloud, and how a legend keeps its hold long after you have left the block. Told in Joshua's clear-eyed voice, the book weaves English and Spanish the way the neighborhood spoke them, and follows a boy learning to read the adults around him in a game nobody explained.Second edition.
