McCall, Guadalupe – Summer of the Mariposas (Hardback)

Summer of the Mariposas by Guadalupe García McCall is a vibrant reimagining of The Odyssey through the lens of Mexican American folklore and sisterhood. When fifteen-year-old Odilia and her four sisters discover a drowned man in their secret swimming hole, they embark on a quest to return him to his family in Mexico. Guided by the spectral La Llorona and armed with a magical earring, the sisters navigate a journey filled with mythical creatures like the chupacabras and shape-shifting witches. As they traverse the borderlands, they confront challenges that test their unity, courage, and familial bonds. This tale is a celebration of cultural heritage, the strength of sisterhood, and the transformative power of love and resilience.
