In June 2018, publisher Lee & Low released an edition in Spanish. Ultimately, Summer of the Mariposas promotes the bond of sisterhood and the love between mother and daughters. Readers will learn a great deal about Mexican folklore and legends, as well as many Spanish words and terms. Although there is some mild violence, there is no strong language or sex, so it's an educational and entertaining choice for mature middle-grade readers, not just young-adult fans. The girls face danger several times, just like Odysseus, and must vanquish each potential threat to return home to their mother in Texas. The novel is a loose adaptation of Homer's Odyssey featuring five Mexican-American sisters, ages 10 to 15, on an epic quest. Parents need to know that Summer of the Mariposas is the second book by award-winning author Guadalupe Garcia McCall.
Mild almost-cursing, such as saying "helicopter" instead of "hell." The girls hurl insults like "know it all," "crazy," "fat little thief," "stupid," and more at one another and strangers.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Language in your kid's entertainment guide.
