Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa is fast paced and fun while also dealing with the heavy subject of intergenerational trauma. The writing is fast-paced and really embodies the voice of 12 year old Pilar.

This book was so so so amazing! I was thrilled with the integration of lore and mythology with actual political turmoil that affected the lives of people in the Dominican Republic. Incredible storytelling, hilarious writing, and fascinating story. An incredible debut to middle grade!
