Mañanaland
Pam Muñoz Ryan
Max lives in Santa Maria, a fictional Latinx country in the Americas, with his father and grandfather. He wants to play soccer, but instead helps his stonemason father gather stones for a bridge project near La Reina Gigante. The legendary tower is said to be haunted by refugees who once hid there while escaping war and oppression. Stories about Max’s grandfather suggest he may have been among local Guardians who protected those refugees.
