"An exceptionally well-crafted story brimming with mythological
creatures, captivating characters, and non-stop adventure."
--Christina Diaz Gonzalez, bestselling author of Invisible Encanto
meets The Chronicles of Narnia by way of Colombian folklore in this
"fast-paced...thrilling" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) middle
grade fantasy adventure. To save their father's life, a brother and
sister must journey across a land full of mythical creatures and
find the most powerful and dangerous of them all: the madremonte.
Twelve-year-old Valentina wants to focus on drawing the real world
around her and hopefully get into art school in Bogotá one day,
but Papi has spent his life studying Colombia's legendary creatures
and searching for proof of their existence. So when Papi hears that
a patasola--a vampire woman with one leg--has been sighted in the
Andes, Valentina and her younger brother Julián get dragged along
on another magical creature hunt. While they're in the Andes, a
powerful earthquake hits. Valentina and Julián fall through the
earth...and find an alternate Colombia where, to Valentina's shock,
all the legends are real. To get home, Valentina and Julián must
make a treacherous journey to reach this land's ruler: the
madremonte, mother and protector of the earth. She controls the
only portal back to the human world--but she absolutely hates
humans, and she'll do anything to defend her land.
