FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Well worth it for ravenous fans of quest stories." —Kirkus Reviews "A highly recommended adventure series" —School Library Journal Inspired by Hispanic folklore, legends, and myths from the Iberian Peninsula and Central and South America, this bold sequel to Charlie Hernández & the League of Shadows, which Booklist called "a perfect pick for kids who love Rick Riordan" in a starred review, follows Charlie as he continues on his quest to embrace his morphling identity. Charlie Hernandez still likes to think of himself as a normal kid. But whats normal about being a demon-slaying preteen with an encyclopedic knowledge of Latino mythology who can partially manifest nearly any animal trait found in nature? Well, not much. But, Charlie believes he can get used to this new "normal," because being able to sprout wings or morph fins is pretty cool. But there is a downside: it means having to constantly watch his back for La Mano Peludas sinister schemes. And when the leader of La Liga, the Witch Queen Jo herself, is suddenly kidnapped, Charlies sure theyre at it again. Determined to save the queen and keep La Ligas alliances intact, Charlie and his good friend Violet Rey embark on a perilous journey to track down her captors. As Charlie and Violet are drawn deeper into a world of monstruos and magia they are soon left with more questions than answers—like, why do they keep hearing rumors of dead men walking, and why is Charlie suddenly having visions of an ancient evil: a necromancer priest whos been dead for more than five centuries? Charlies abuela once told him that when dead men walk, the living run in fear. And Charlies about to learn the truth of that—the hard way.

Review "Well worth it for ravenous fans of quest stories." -- Kirkus Reviews * August 15, 2019 *"A highly recommended adventure series..." -- School Library Journal * October 2019 *"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 Hernández series with its adventure, memorable characters, and heartbreak." -- Booklist * September 1, 2019 *"Filled with action with fast-paced chapters, Calejos 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 Riordans many series, particularly for those eager for mythologies beyond Greek and Roman stories." -- Booklist *STARRED REVIEW* for Charlie Hernández & the League of Shadows"Hes not the "chosen one"—but the bad guys think he is. Mexican-born, American-raised Charlie Hernández just grew horns. And feathers. Its 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 Hernández & 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 Hernández & 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 Hernández & the League of Shadows * January 2019 *Florida Book Awards Gold Medalist Review Quote "Well worth it for ravenous fans of quest stories."
