Summer of the Mariposas is a magical Mexican American retelling of The Odyssey--and a celebration of sisterhood and maternal love.

When Odilia and her four sisters find a dead body in the swimming hole, they embark on a hero's journey to return the dead man to his family in Mexico. But returning home to Texas turns into an odyssey that would rival Homer's original tale.

With the supernatural aid of ghostly La Llorona via a magical earring, Odilia and her little sisters travel a road of tribulation to their long-lost grandmother's house. Along the way, they must outsmart a witch and her Evil Trinity: a wily warlock, a coven of vicious half-human barn owls, and a bloodthirsty livestock-hunting chupacabras. Can these fantastic trials prepare Odilia and her sisters for what happens when they face their final test, returning home to the real world, where goddesses and ghosts can no longer help them?

I think this book is such a great book to show heroism and women power. I love how each girl finds themself in the end! Great book overall but it does have a slow start but keep reading because it gets amazing later 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It was a good story. It kept me hooked in between the chapters. I didn’t get the titles meanings but the story plot was pretty interesting. It was good, but not the best story I ever read you know?

As a teacher, I loved the rich vocabulary, metaphors, and the complexity of this text. This book could be used to teach so many language comprehension strands in your classroom. The story line is rigorous, exciting and filled with so much adventure that you can’t wait to hear what comes next! Even though the main characters are five sisters, boys will definitely get hooked on this book! I would imagine even reluctant readers finding this to be a book they would enjoy. I highly recommend this read!

The only thing to caution, depending on you child or students, is that they mention that Santa Clause is not real. With the age level you would use this book for, this most likely won’t be a problem. However, If you have a younger child with a high reading ability that picks this up, just know that this in there.

Amazing Read!
