Copo de Algodón | María García Esperón

Pickpick

(2010) It's a juvenile historical and a strange one, based on the early life of Isabel Moctezuma: daughter to Moctezuma II, witness to the arrival of Hernán Cortés, and survivor of the Spanish Conquest. It's a story of conflict between cultures that on one side practice human sacrifice, ritual cannibalism, and child marriage; and on the other, genocide. Grim themes for juvenile lit, so it's remarkable that it's also full of beauty and heartbreak

swynn This was my #BookSpin read for February. I think I said earlier that "Magic Rises" was such, but I was wrong: "Magic Rises" was my #DoubleSpin. I'm ready for March now @TheAromaofBooks ! 2mo

My #BookSpin for February is a juvenile historical set in precolonial Mexico; my #DoubleSpin is the next up for me in the Kate Daniels Urban fantasy series. Looking forward to both.

Thanks @TheAromaofBooks !
