Coming October 2012 from Tu Books, an imprint of LEE & LOW BOOKS $17.95 Summer of the Mariposas is not just a magical Mexican American retelling of The Odyssey, it is a celebration of sisterhood and maternal love. Can these fantastic trials prepare Odilia and her sisters for what happens when they face their final test, returning home to the real world, where goddesses and ghosts can no longer help them? Along the way, they must outsmart a witch and her Evil Trinity: a wily warlock, a coven of vicious half-human barn owls, and a bloodthirsty livestockhunting chupacabras. With the supernatural aid of the ghostly Llorona via a magical earring, Odilia and her little sisters journey along a road of tribulation to their long-lost grandmother’s house. But returning home to Texas turns into a unique odyssey all their own. Rival the mythical Odysseus in cleverness and courage as they embark on a hero’s journey to return a dead man to his family in Mexico.
