I feel kind of bad rating this only one star because it may not be all that bad. I only got a few pages in before I gave up though so I can't really honestly give it even two stars.
I'm somewhat picky when I read books written in verse so maybe that's my main problem here. It irked me a little with the Spanish words too. Obviously, some foreign words will add to a story like this and admittedly, they were all defined at the bottom, even the words that just about anyone would know. There were so many of them. So, so many and I was only a few pages in. It interrupted the story for me and it would have been better to have toned that part down.
The verses just didn't seem to flow for me. I found this at the library the other day while browsing the oh-so-small YA section and I really like the cover. Actually, for me, the cover is the best part of the book.
