Galbis

Enrique Flores-Galbis, at age nine, was one of 14,000 children who left Cuba in 1961, without their parents, in a mass exodus called ＂Operation Pedro Pan.＂ He and his two older brothers spent months in a refugee camp in southern Florida; this historical novel is inspired by that experience. The author of ＂Raining Sardines,＂ Enrique lives in Forest Hills, New York, with his family.
