4.5
adventurous challenging

This book is basically a fantasy retelling of the end of Trujillo dictatorship and it is wonderfully written. The elements of Dominican folklore, a great adventure plot as well as a wonderful cast was fun to read. I think this is one of the few MG books where we see the effects of actual violence on the MC but it was very well done.
