There is something for everyone to enjoy in this unique series that blends history, romance, action, and the paranormal with a bit of social commentary.
Although the playful pictures in the print version are fun and whimsical, the audio version can stand alone without the illustrations. ["[Recommend] this can't-miss installment to followers of the series, fans of comedy mixed with adventure, and those seeking an alternative to traditional princess stories": SLJ 9/16 review of the Dial book.]
Recommended for libraries where realistic fiction circulates well. ["The matter-of-fact narrative voice ensures that the tragic plot never overwhelms this wrenching tale of growth and loss": SLJ 8/15 starred review of the Clarion book.]
Teens may have trouble following the story, which unfolds in episodic memories that sometimes lack clear transitions. However, many will be moved and even inspired by the account of Manzano rising above her challenging childhood. ["This memoir will strike a chord with teens and adults alike": SLJ 9/15 starred review of the Scholastic book.]—Rebecca James, Hathaway Brown School, Shaker Heights, OH
