When Life Gives You Mangos

Twelve-year-old Clara lives on an island that visitors call exotic. But theres nothing exotic about it to Clara. She loves eating ripe mangos off the ground, running outside in the rain with her Papa during rainy season, and going to her secret hideout with Gaynaheven though lately shes not acting like a best friend.

The only thing out of the ordinary for Clara is that something happened to her memory that made her forget everything that happened last summer after a hurricane hit. Sometimes things come back to her in drips like a tap that hasnt been turned off properly. Other times her Mama fills in the blanksonly she knows those arent her memories and it is hard feeling like she is not like everybody else.

But this summer is going to be different for Clara. Everyone is buzzing with excitement over a new girl in the village who is not like other visitors. She is about to make big waves on the islandand give Clara a summer she wont forget.
