4.0

This is an enjoyable adventure novel with a female protagonist. 3.5 stars. I initially was concerned because some of the language didn’t seem easy to follow for middle grade readers (eg a discussion about the hilt and porthole - without enough context for even me to understand). And I have other small quibbles about it as well (eg it felt like it only sort of wanted to take place in Mexico), but it was still a fun, light middle grades book with a likable, courageous main character.
