movie vs book [NOVELIZATION]
Kirk DeMicco, Brandon Jeffords, 2021
The film follows a one-of-a-kind kinkajou named Vivo, who spends his days playing music to the crowds in a lively Havana square with his beloved owner Andrés. Yet in order to get to the distant shores of Miami, Vivo will need to accept the help of Andrés’ grand-niece Gabi – an energetic tween who bounces to the beat of her own offbeat drum.
