The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano This young adult novel by Sonia Manzano tells the story of a teenage girl living in New York who comes to learn the significance of her Puerto Rican heritage and why her family moved to the U.S. Taking place decades after The Meaning of Consuelo, it is a good way to further students understanding of Puerto Rico, the factors that influence U.S. immigration, and the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.
