This is an absolutely fabulous middle grade book full of magic and adventure - and even themes of conservation! We follow Solimar, a young girl who wants to see the annual butterfly migration but instead winds up with temporary clairvoyance. I loved how the butterflies are worked into the story throughout and how Solimar's journey truly embodies the metamorphosis of one. The cast of characters is lovely from the spunky Zarita to the loyal Lazaro, and the lush setting is just magical. Pam Muñoz Ryan takes us on an epic quest through Latin America that's both cultural and educational. What else could you want?

It's astounding. There really aren't words for how ambitious this book is - it spans years, continents, languages, and cultures. I'm normally not a historical fantasy fan, but I would read this over and over again. For fans of the Poppy War, it reads like an R. F. Kuang book and features similar themes. But for fans of historical fiction who want to get into fantasy books, this is a great starting point.

It's full of moral conflicts, racial aggressions, and dialogues on industry. It's a dark academia epic spanning Robin's life, full of passionate characters and foes that will make you feel a visceral rage. There really aren't enough words to describe it, but beautiful sums it up pretty nicely.

This is a cute romance that hops into steamy town, but it isn't without a bit of grief as well. Drew is mourning her grandmother's passing while dealing with her asshat of a father trying to steal the bookstore she was willed. And to make matters worse, she immediately falls for a visiting romance author whose books she's never read! I liked how much of Colorado we got to see - from the gorgeous mountains to rushing rivers, it feels like a travel guide. And it defffffinitely got STEAMY. My one complaint is that we didn't get to see the list Jasper gave Drew of books to read in its entirety! (Though we can guess that the first is Daisy Jones and the Six)

I really did enjoy this book though, from the female friendships to the spicy romance... it really has it all.
