Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away meets The Last Stop on Market Street in this touching story about what makes a place home. It’s Elysia’s last day in her apartment. She is going to miss so much about her home, but it turns out this isn’t the first time her family has moved. They are originally from a beautiful island and came to the city for a new life, and while Elysia doesn’t remember it, her older sister Penelope does. As they walk around their block one last time, Penelope helps Elysia find pieces of home—a bachata CD to remember neighborhood dance parties, a mug to fill with her favorite bodega hot chocolate, coconut oil for her hair, a stack of her favorite books—that they can carry with them wherever they go.
