The sights, sounds and tastes of vibrant Saint Lucia come to life in this cumulative #OwnVoices tale of a girl's journey to Carnival. When a series of unexpected delays disrupts her journey to the big parade, Melba must adjust both her expectations and her route to the festivities. Who will she meet and what will she learn along the way?

"Imagine a celebration that lasts for 2 1/2 months. You don't have to if you have this book" - Betsy Bird, Librarian, @FuseEight
