Reviews
“The writing is engaging, and Lowery has created a strong sense of place through vivid descriptions of local festivals, scenery, and day-to-day life in the town.” ―School Library Journal
“Absolutely delightful. Linda Lowery does an excellent job pulling you into the beautiful setting of Mexic, fives you a peak into the country’s rich culture and even manages to sprinkle in a bit of history. The protagonist’s voice is unique, smart and lovable, and will make you all wish you knew a little girl just like her.” ―New York Amsterdam News
