The story is well written and even well told. The writer has talent for children's and junior books. It is a good recreational reading book. Now my purpose for this book was to have my Latin bilingual class read something relevant to our Spanish speaking community. My students did a huge research about the Dominic Republic before reading the book, so they knew a lot about the economical and political problems as well as the culture. We were very disappointed on the book, the story line didn't connect at a deeper level with the setting. Also the cultural aspects of the character were flat. My students and I felt it was a good recreational book, but didn't met our expectations. We were looking for a meaningful Hispanic book, and all we got was an stereotypical narrative about how tourist look at us. I know the author feels connect to the Dominican culture, but there is a lot of the cultural spirit missing that "realismo magico" of the Caribbean.
Una excelente lectura, especialmente para adolescentes y jóvenes. Contiene un vocabulario fácil de comprender y una historia muy encantadora. ¡La recomiendo!
Great book for Spanish 3 and 4 students. had thr kids buy it and they love it. I read it and created a vocab list to go with it. It is not difficult to read but it does challenge them a bit in certain areas.
