In this book, Lote, a Hispanic-American teenager, is transported into her grandmothers fairy-tale world that she never really believed in. But, then she learns that she is the one being foretold about in the stories....
This book is a decent read, but in my opinion completely average. Nothing special here to keep my attention, just short enough to read the whole way through in one sitting. It is a decent, readable book, but it was just nothing special.
