A review by la_ravenreader
Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa by Julian Randall

3.0

A story about Pilar, a 12 year old Dominican girl from Chicago. She is a documentary film maker who is interested in doing a film about what really happened to her mother's cousin, who disappeared in the 1950s in the Dominican Republic. While meeting a college professor that her older sister told her could help her with the documentary she is transported to the land of Zafa. There is much face a war and the truth about herself to get home. A nice story that is more of a 3.5 stars. My minor complaint is that if you couldn't read Spanish some of the story would be confusing.

Thanks to the publisher and Goodreads for sending me this book. It was an enjoyable read
