Thank you Net Galley and Wednesday Books for the advanced readers copy to review. 5/5 stars! This book was a five star read and easily became one of my favorite books ever. This book takes place in Florida where Manu has lived cut off from the outside world with only her mother and adoptive grandmother for company. Manu must stay hidden because she has a strange genetic mutation, or so her mom says. Manu and her Mother are also both undocumented. Manu's entire life changes the day her mother is captured by ICE. Manu goes on the run and ends up at a magical boarding school where she finds out she doesn't just have a genetic mutation, she is in fact magical. Join Manu in Lobizona as she learns about her family's secret past and takes and epic journey of self discovery. This book's magic system and world building is like nothing I have ever seen before. I loved the all latinx main cast and the LGBTQ+ representation. I can't wait for book two I need it now.
