SLJ described the book as “a powerful emotional experience that explores friendship, bullying, mythology, and self-acceptance with a deft hand.” I feel so honored to see this story—inspired by Mexican folklore and my roots—featured alongside other exciting middle-grade books!

About the Book:

Daylan and the River of Secrets is also available in Spanish.
