Maya and the Return of the Godlings by Rena Barron

5.0

Another book that makes me feel like a kid again. MATROTG is a full of adventure, magic, friendship, love, and most important of all, heart.

This a great story for kids who want to go on an adventure with kids they can relate to and admire. Maya is a strong, bold girl whose goal is protecting her family and saving the world. Her quick wit and bravery make her an inspiration, along with her two best friends Eli and Frankie.

I don't read many Middle Grade books so maybe this is part of the category, but I did feel the pace moved very quickly. That said, it made for a nice short read that opens the imagination while still exploring culture and themes of friendship and family.

This was a great breather from my normal fare, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to give their kids (or their inner kid) a new adventure.
