Pros
Me, frida, & the secret of the peacock ring is such a sweet story with mystery and adventure--and frida! It makes me want to visit mexico and frida's home. The story provides insight into the life and artwork of frida kahlo.
Paloma marquez is a best-selling author of mystery novels. Her most recent novel is about a mystery surrounding artist frida kahlo. It makes you feel like you are right there in mexico with paloma," says author.
Highlights
Quality
Her exposure to mexico also serves as exposure for some readers who may have little to no familiarity with the nation
Many fine observations of kahlo’s art are made by the protagonist as she connects with the paintings
Packaging/appearance
I loved how the author was able to weave elements of the past into the present all wrapped up in an engaging mystery
Competitiveness
I read it with my 8year old stepdaughter
I would give this a big thumbsup for any home school and library with readers of this age
