La IRA de Tláloc / Wrath of the Rain God by Karla Arenas Valenti Pdf

Gemelos que están superando todo lo que conlleva una mudanza a una nueva ciudad son transportados en el tiempo por un libro mágico en este primer libro de la serie de libros de capítulos "Legendarios", que es una combinación de La casa del árbol mágico y Héroes en entrenamiento. Los gemelos de nueve años, Emma y Martín, no podrían ser más diferentes en sus personalidades, intereses e incluso en su apariencia. Pero en algo están absolutamente de acuerdo: mudarse de Cuernavaca, México, a Illinois es una terrible idea. Desafortunadamente, no tienen opinión al respecto cuando su papá consigue su trabajo soñado como director de una escuela secundaria en Chicago. Para ayudar a los gemelos a mantenerse conectados con su herencia mexicana, su abuela les regala un libro de leyendas mexicanas. El libro resulta ser más que un regalo de despedida... ¡es un objeto mágico que los transportará directamente a las leyendas! En la primera leyenda, Emma y Martín se encuentran con Tláloc, el dios de la lluvia. Tláloc está enojado porque su rayo ha sido robado, y su ira se manifiesta como un aguacero torrencial sobre la antigua ciudad de Texcoco. La lluvia no cesará hasta que se le devuelva el rayo, por lo que Emma y Martín se disponen a recuperarlo. ¿Encontrarán el rayo de Tláloc a tiempo para ayudar a la gente de Texcoco a salvar sus hogares? ¿O la ira del dios de la lluvia marcará el fin de esta ciudad legendaria? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Twins coping with moving to a new city get swept back in time by a magical book in this first book in the Legendarios chapter book series that's Magic Tree House meets Heroes in Training! Nine-year-old twins, Emma, and Martín, couldn't be more different in their personalities, interests, and even their looks. But one thing they absolutely agree on is that moving from Cuernavaca, Mexico, to Illinois is a terrible idea. Unfortunately, they're not given a choice when their dad lands his dream job as a middle school principal in Chicago. To help the twins stay connected to their Mexican heritage, their abuela gifts them a book of Mexican legends. The book turns out to be more than a going away present...it's a magical item that transports them directly into the legends! In the first legend, Emma and Martín encounter Tlaloc, the god of rain. Tlaloc is angry because his lightning bolt has been stolen, and his rage is manifesting as a torrential downpour over the ancient city of Texcoco. The rain won't stop until the lightning bolt has been returned, so Emma and Martín set out to recover it. Will they find Tlaloc's bolt in time to help the people of Texcoco save their home? Or will the wrath of the rain god mark the end of this legendary city?

Lotería by Karla Arenas Valenti Pdf

The turn of a card could change your destiny in this captivating middle grade adventure based on the Lotería card game and perfect for fans of Coco. While searching for her missing cousin, a young girl is transported to a mythical kingdom, becoming entangled in a perilous game of chance. “A magical, philosophical tale rooted in Mexican lore.” —School Library Journal, starred review In the hottest hour of the hottest day of the year, a fateful wind blows into Oaxaca City. It whistles down cobbled streets and rustles the jacaranda trees before slipping into the window of an eleven-year-old girl named Clara. Unbeknownst to her, Clara has been marked for la Lotería. Life and Death deal the Lotería cards but once a year, and the stakes could not be higher. Every card reveals a new twist in Clara’s fate—a scorpion, an arrow, a blood-red rose. If Life wins, Clara will live to a ripe old age. If Death prevails, she’ll flicker out like a candle. But Clara knows none of this. All she knows is that her young cousin Esteban has vanished, and she’ll do whatever it takes to save him, traveling to the mythical Kingdom of Las Pozas, where every action has a price, and every choice has consequences. And though it seems her fate is sealed, Clara just might have what it takes to shatter the game and choose a new path. Karla Arenas Valenti weaves an adventure steeped in magic and mythology—gorgeously illustrated by Dana Sanmar—exploring the notion of free will in a world where fate holds all the cards.

Land of the Cranes (Scholastic Gold) by Aida Salazar Pdf

From the prolific author of The Moon Within comes the heart-wrenchingly beautiful story in verse of a young Latinx girl who learns to hold on to hope and love even in the darkest of places: a family detention center for migrants and refugees. Nine-year-old Betita knows she is a crane. Papi has told her the story, even before her family fled to Los Angeles to seek refuge from cartel wars in Mexico. The Aztecs came from a place called Aztlan, what is now the Southwest US, called the land of the cranes. They left Aztlan to establish their great city in the center of the universe-Tenochtitlan, modern-day Mexico City. It was prophesized that their people would one day return to live among the cranes in their promised land. Papi tells Betita that they are cranes that have come home.Then one day, Betita's beloved father is arrested by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and deported to Mexico. Betita and her pregnant mother are left behind on their own, but soon they too are detained and must learn to survive in a family detention camp outside of Los Angeles. Even in cruel and inhumane conditions, Betita finds heart in her own poetry and in the community she and her mother find in the camp. The voices of her fellow asylum seekers fly above the hatred keeping them caged, but each day threatens to tear them down lower than they ever thought they could be. Will Betita and her family ever be whole again?
