A world straight out of Argentine folklore, where the seventh consecutive daughter is born a bruja and the seventh consecutive son is a lobizón, a werewolf. A world connected to her dead father and his criminal past. Without a home, without answers, and finally without shackles, Manu investigates the only clue she has about her past–a mysterious “Z” emblem-which leads her to a secret world buried within our own. Her surrogate grandmother is attacked, lifelong lies are exposed, and her mother is arrested by ICE. Until Manu’s protective bubble is shattered. As an undocumented immigrant who’s on the run from her father’s Argentine crime-family, Manu is confined to a small apartment and a small life in Miami, Florida. Manuela Azul has been crammed into an existence that feels too small for her. Tackling issues of immigration, magical powers, and sexism, Lobizona is a fantastic debut! Keep reading this book review to find out all the reasons I loved Lobizona. Lobizona is a book that’s been on my radar for months now! It’s a book about a girl’s whose very existence is illegal.
