Middle-grade fans of Pam Muñoz Ryan’s Esperanza Rising, will find a new Mexican heroine to love in Solimar and a fresh, magical story!
On the brink of her Quinceañera, and her official coronation, Solimar visits
the oyamel forest to sit among the monarch butterflies. There, the sun pierces
through a sword-shaped crevice in a boulder, which shines on her and sends the
butterflies humming and swirling around her.
After the magical frenzy, she realizes she's been given a gift―and a burden:
she can predict the near future! She has also become a protector of the young
and weak butterflies. This alone would be a huge responsibility, but tragedy
strikes when a neighboring king invades while her father and brother and many
others are away. The remaining villagers are taken hostage―all except Solimar.
Can this princess-to-be save her family, the kingdom, and the future of the
monarch butterflies from a greedy and dangerous king?
Written for ages 8 to 12 by the Newbery Honor Medal winner of the highly
acclaimed novel Echo.
Review: Currently reading with my 10 year old. Her favorite butterfly is the monarch and she is reading this outloud, so taking our time. But so far we are loving Solimar and her protecting the butterflies.
