A review by lattelibrarian
Me, Frida, and the Secret of the Peacock Ring by Angela Cervantes
5.0
This was SUCH a fun book recommended to me by a friend. Filled with culture, intrigue, and Frida Kahlo, this novel was a whirlwind of emotion, mother-daughter relations, and fun summer adventures. It's vibrant, fun, and wholesome.
I learned so much from this book--I learned more about Mexican culture and the Spanish language, as well as art history and Frida Kahlo herself. There was just the right amount of mystery and action, and going behind parents' backs. As Paloma learns to love Mexico and a new side of her family history, the more I loved this book.
It's overall fun and enjoyable and a great summer read. Well worth the time!
