Alebrijes is an amazingly inventive dystopian adventure brimming with characters you’ll be rooting for along with the hiss-filled villains that populate this tale. Spanish is used judiciously as the protagonist hails from the Cascabales, descendants of farm workers in Central California. There’s an amazing “break” in the narrative that will have you searching for a foothold, but keep on this unknown path and you’ll be rewarded with an awe-inspiring tale about 13-year old Mighty Leandro. I loved this book!
