Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa by Julian Randall
4.0
Thank you Mac Kids Books for my finished copy.
Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa is the first book in a fantasy duology that I really enjoyed. Reading this book taught me about Dominican Republic leader Rafael Trujillo and his brutal regime. I had no idea about this and ended up doing some research on Google. The part of history was broken down easily for kids understand.
I love the way Pilar came into her own while in Zafa. She found her strength and used her voice. I do look forward to the next book in the series. I found the authors note touching as well and it’s so important for these stories to be told authentically!
Trigger: HP references, gentrification.
