Résumé
The Upside Down Boy is an award-winning poet Juan Felipe Herrera's engaging memoir of the year his migrant family settled down so that he could go Fresh from the country, Juanito is bewildered by his new school. Everything he does… feels upside down: he eats lunch when its recess and goes out to play when its time for lunch, and his tongue feels like a rock when he tries to speak English.

Juan Felipe's playful language and the magical illustrations of Elizabeth Gómez capture the universal experience of entering a new school and feeling lost in a world that seems upside down at first
