Magic, Mexican folklore, friendship and love all wrapped up in this fun adventure. Along the way we me lots of los monstrous and Felice, who just wants to find her mom, who is to believed to have become La LLorona when she drowned many years before. It's up to Felice and her new friends, Ava and Rooster to get to the river and find her mother before the whole town of Tres Leches votes the evil Bonita in as mayor. This was a slow burn adventure, at times I felt like there was too many obstacles for Felice to overcome to get to the River, find her mother while also overcoming her fear of water.

This feels very much like the wild adventures of The Storyteller by Brandon Hobson. It has that very fable-esque feel and a penchant for just accepting magic as real in a real world setting. I ADORE whatever that writing style is called. This story was a romp and I adored it.
