Spanish reader that had some nice intermediate grammar without being too difficult. I was hoping to use this reader with students after discussing different legends in the world. There is not much that happens with La Llorona, and I was disappointed that it would not provide much new information/culture for my students. However the good news is that this can be used for any class, even if they have no knowledge of La Llorona.

There were some mild issues I had about things like how did Laney exactly get from the airport to the bus station? The fact that they were able to walk from the bus station to the camp was a little surprising… the camp has no electricity??? The window has no glass? (Yes windows are different, let’s explore those cultural differences). Both things a little weird
