Summary of Book:
Rosemary Wells wrote this book after hearing Secundino's story and talking with him. It is the true story of Secundino Fernandez and his childhood. It illustrates the history of when Fidel Castro took over Cuba. In the classroom, I would do a whole history lesson over this. Because this is a biography, I would give tests and have discussions over the content. It is a great book and very heart touching.
