Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa by Julian Randall

4.0

I really enjoyed this. It's an interesting mix of Dominican history and culture and Spanglish while also addressing universal themes of family and responsibility.

Admittedly, I'm not the target age for this book, but I do hope that eventually my friends' kids are old enough I can give this to them to read. And, also, I know Julian from college so was biased towards liking this book to begin with, but I would have enjoyed it even if the author were a stranger.
