Description of Charlie Hern�ndez & the Castle of Bones (Charlie Hernandez)
Review 'Well worth it for ravenous fans of quest stories.' -- Kirkus Reviews, August 15, 2019After saving his parents from the legendary bruja La Cuca, Charlie is just settling into his new life with the League of Shadows when Queen Joanna, their leader, is kidnapped. He and his friend Violet embark on a quest to rescue Joanna, and their pursuit takes them through Brazil, Argentina, and Chile up to El Salvador and Mexico. As they piece together clues involving mysterious castles of bones and a centuries-old necromancer, Charlie and Violet encounter various creatures from Hispanic myths, including a lobisomem (Brazilian werewolf), an alicanto bird, and okpe ogres, some of whom help, while others try to stop the children at all costs. But when they reach their final destination and uncover an ancient secret, Charlie learns that those he thought were friends may in fact be enemies. Through brief, fast-paced chapters, this ongoing adventure introduces more vibrant culture and legends, all while developing Charlie, Violet, and the other members of La Liga. Middle-grade readers will enjoy this second installment of the Charlie Hern�ndez series with its adventure, memorable characters, and heartbreak. -- Booklist, September 1, 2019'A highly recommended adventure series...' -- School Library Journal, October 2019'Filled with action with fast-paced chapters, Calejo's novel is sure to draw in readers and introduce them to the magic, beauty, and history of Hispanic myths and legends (many of which are elaborated on further in a glossary for those unfamiliar with the stories). This is a perfect pick for kids who love Rick Riordan's many series, particularly for those eager for mythologies beyond Greek and Roman stories.' -- Booklist *STARRED REVIEW* for Charlie Hern�ndez & the League of Shadows'He's not the 'chosen one'�but the bad guys think he is. Mexican-born, American-raised Charlie Hern�ndez just grew horns. And feathers. It's inconvenient. All of a sudden, all the Hispanic (both Latin American and Iberian) myths he learned from his abuela leave the world of legend and reveal themselves in Miami�and everyone, good and bad, seems to be after Charlie. A winner for all kids, but it will be especially beloved by Latinx and Hispanic families who may recognize some of the characters.' -- Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW for Charlie Hern�ndez & the League of ShadowsThis magical adventure brings the Hispanic mythologies . . . to life . . . 'the detailed attention to various Hispanic folkloric and mythological traditions is accessible to readers new to the legends as well as old hands, and this multicultural story proves to be a satisfying read for anyone interested in fantasy action.' -- BCCB for Charlie Hern�ndez & the League of Shadows, October 2018'The story is fast paced and jam-packed with many encounters with mythological creatures loosely based on folklore from around the Spanish-speaking world. The glossary at the end is helpful with a description and country of origin for each mythological being. VERDICT A great start to a new series that will be devoured by fantasy fans who enjoy action with ample doses of mythological inspirations.' -- School Library Journal for Charlie Hern�ndez & the League of Shadows, January 2019 Read more About the Author Ryan Calejo was born and raised in south Florida.
