Bananas

After divorcing, Mario’s mother must uproot the family to find work. Mario struggles with the thought of moving, until he experiences the benefits of his mother’s new job at a fruit company. His new life includes an almost unlimited supply of bananas and a series of new adventures. However, Mario develops a great distaste for bananas once he sees the REAL harvest of the banana plantations.

"I'm always impressed by Carrie Toth's books. She never covers up the harsh reality, and knows how to bring it to her readers with great compassion. I admire the way she writes based-on-real-life stories in such an accessible and comprehensible way."
