I‘m weirdly thankful to have gotten covid recently as I read double what I usually do, and got into some books which I‘d bought but just had sitting around - like this gem. I LOVED this. Zoraida writes incredible families. This was cute and fun and exciting and gripping and moving. I would read more of these characters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a fun world to have been dropped into for a while! Awesome creatures, an epic adventure with siblings, family drama, betrayal, and a surprise twist! Enjoyed this one a bunch. 🦄
