Posted on March 8, 2013

It’s Friday, which means we are over at Kirkus! Today Ana reviews Summer of the Mariposas by Guadalupe Garcia McCall.

The book – a retelling of The Odyssey featuring 5 sisters travelling in Mexico, guided by the ghostly La Llorona and meeting assorted figures from Aztec mythology – has been recently nominated for the Andre Norton Award.
