For nine-year-old Alejandria, home isn't just the apartment she shares with Mami and her abuela, Tita, but rather the whole neighborhood. Home is the bakery where Ms. Beatrice makes yummy picos; the sidewalk where Ms. Alicia sells flowers with her little dog, Duende; and the corner store with friendly Mr. Amir.

But lately the city has been changing, and rent prices are going up. Many people in el barrio are leaving because they can no longer afford their homes, and "For Sale" signs are popping up everywhere. Then the worst thing happens: Mami receives a letter saying they'll have to move out too.

Alejandria knows it isn't fair, but she's not about to give up and leave. Join Alejandria as she brings her community together to fight and save their neighborhood!

Para Alejandria de nueve aos, el hogar no es slo el apartamento que comparte con Mami y su abuela, Tita, sino ms bien todo el barrio. El hogar es la panadera donde la Sra. Beatrice hace unos ricos picos; la vereda donde la Sra. Alicia vende flores con su perrito, Duende; y la pulpera con el amistoso Sr. Amir.

Pero ltimamente la ciudad ha estado cambiando, y los precios de alquiler estn subiendo. Muchas personas en el barrio se estn yendo porque ya no pueden costear sus hogares, y letreros anunciando "Se Vende" estn apareciendo por todos lados. Entonces ocurre lo peor: Mami recibe una carta diciendo que ellas tambin tendrn que mudarse.

Alejandria sabe que no es justo, pero no est dispuesta a darse por vencida e irse. nete a Alejandria mientras ella rene a su comunidad para luchar y salvar su barrio!
