A review by mreadsalot
Freddie Ramos Takes Off by Jacqueline Jules

2.0

As a book, this story is very Junie B/Captain Underpants and is fun. The issue I have is with it is that I was looking for a series to introduce to my students who are largely Hispanic and Latinx and the series is written by someone who does not reflect the same background. The author has also written Sofia Martinez. While I appreciate them for writing something that younger grades will enjoy and relate to and advocate for people to write more diversely, I wonder what this series would have looked like if the author was Latinx or Hispanic.
