Lolcats. Salsa dancing. Unrequited love. Tom Crosshill's smart and witty debut teen novel treads a colorful coming-of-age journey from New York City to Havana that will appeal to fans of books by Matthew Quick and Junot Díaz. When Rick Gutiérrez—known as "That Cat Guy" at school—gets dumped on his sixteenth birthday for uploading cat videos from his bedroom instead of experiencing the real world, he realizes it's time for a change. So Rick joins a salsa class . . . because of a girl, of course. Ana Cabrera is smart, friendly, and smooth on the dance floor. He might be half Cuban, but Rick dances like a drunk hippo. Desperate to impress Ana, he invites her to spend the summer in Havana. The official reason: learning to dance. The hidden agenda: romance under the palm trees. Except Cuba isn't all sun, salsa, and music. As Rick and Ana meet his family and investigate the reason why his mother left Cuba decades ago, they learn that politics isn't just something that happens to other people. And when they find romance, it's got sharp edges.

"Rick Gutiérrez es... ¡El Rey Gato de La Habana! Pero en realidad no es un rey: siempre está encerrado subiendo videos de gatos a la red, y parece que eso no lo hace muy atractivo a los ojos de su chica. En el instituto lo llaman «El Tipo de los Gatos». Tiene que cambiar, así que se apunta a clases de salsa pensando que eso será la solución... Ana Cabrera es encantadora, simpática y baila muy bien. Aunque Rick sea medio cubano, en la pista de baile se comporta como un elefante entrando en una cacharrería. Desesperado por impresionar a Ana, la invita a pasar un verano en La Habana. El motivo teórico: aprender a bailar. El motivo real: que se enamore de él. Sin embargo, en Cuba no todo es sol, salsa y música. La isla esconde un lado oscuro. Rick y Ana se encuentran con la familia de él e investigan por qué su madre se fue hace décadas... Entonces aprenderán que la política no es solo algo que afecta a los demás y que el amor, como las rosas, tiene espinas." --Amazon.com.

“This evocative memoir is a joyous, rhythmic history” of the 11-sister dance band that broke musical and cultural barriers in 1930s Cuba and beyond (Publishers Weekly). In the 1930s, Havana was the place to be for tourists, ex-pats, celebrities, and excitement-seekers. Nights were filled with drinking, dancing, romance, and the roar of infectious music spilling from cafés into the streets. It was a time and place immortalized by Hemingway, and a macho mecca where only men took the stage. That is until Alicia Castro, a thirteen-year-old greengrocer’s daughter, picked up a saxophone and led her sisters into the limelight. With infectious melodies and saucy lyrics, the Sisters Castro—professionally known as Anacaona—became a dance-band of irresistible force. In her jubilant memoir, Queens of Havana, Alicia Castro tells of her incredible rise beyond her native city, to international stardom—swinging alongside legends from Dizzy Gillespie and Celia Cruz to Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway. In an age that insisted women be seen and not heard, Alicia Castro and her unstoppable sisters grabbed the world by the ears and got it dancing to their beat. At eighty-seven-years old, Alicia’s stories are intoxicating and gloriously punctuated with more than 100 vintage photos, posters, and other memorabilia in a book that “reverberates with exotic echoes of a fabulous long-ago era” (Publishers Weekly).

"BUT, my dear," said Mrs. Culverin, with a tiny gasp, "you can't actually mean-a tail!" Mrs. Dingle nodded impressively. "Exactly. I've seen him. Twice. Paris, of course, and then, a command appearance at Rome-we were in the Royal box. He conducted-my clear, you've never heard such effects from an orchestra-and, my dear," she hesitated slightly, "he conducted with it." "How perfectly, fascinatingly too horrid for words!" said Mrs. Culverin in a dazed but greedy voice. "We must have him to dinner as soon as he comes over-he is coming over, isn't he?" "The twelfth," said Mrs. Dingle with a gleam in her eyes. "The New Symphony people have asked him to be guest-conductor for three special concerts-I do hope you can dine with us some night while he's here-he'll be very busy, of course-but he's promised to give us what time he can spare--"
