Nothing happens on the Hill of Dust in Oaxaca, Mexico. Until one day one when, Esma, the Queen of Lightning shows up. Esma’s grandmother, known as the Mistress of Destiny, gives Teo & Esma a fortune that they will be friends for life. With Teo’s three pets, a rescued duck, blind goat, & a three-legged skunk, Teo & Esma overcome many obstacles to make this fortune come true. This friendship will span over generations, especially with Teo’s American Grandson, Mateo & Esma’s Granddaughter, Ruby. Teo - At the beginning of the book he is eleven, speaks perfect spanish and mixteco, the language of his people, loves curing sick people, rescuing animals in need, & life itself Esma - Probably eleven at the beginning of the book, speaks perfect spanish and Romani, the language of her people, feisty, never gives up, & believes nothing is impossible Mateo - Teo’s grandson, I guess he’s thirteen, speaks spanish & English, This book is historical fiction. I liked this book because, 1. I like historical fiction novels 2. I really liked the characters personalities I recommend this book because it makes you think about the ways people are treated because of what we’ve heard of them and what it would be like to step into their shoes.
