Book Synopsis



Tres primos son transportados a 1862 donde juegan un rol importante en la Batalla de Puebla, razón por la que hoy se conmemora el Cinco de Mayo, en esta encantadora aventura fantástica de secundaria.

La historia vive con magia. Eso es lo que la alocada tía Xia les dice siempre a los primos Jorge, Camila y Siggy. El atrevido Jorge no podía ser más distinto a sus primos: Camila es una soñadora que adora a los animales y Siggy es un aspirante a influencer que tiene una fiesta exclusiva a la que asistir. Y su tía tiene muchos secretos incluyendo una misteriosa espada con diamantes incrustados que Jorge definitivamente no debía ver.

Pero, cuando los tres primos caen en un portal del tiempo en el patio de su tía, son transportados a 1862 y a un pasado lleno de maravillas y peligros. Para regresar al presente deben apresurarse y entregar la espada al general Ignacio Zaragosa justo a tiempo para la histórica Batalla de Puebla en México: el surgimiento de la celebración del Cinco de Mayo.

Mientras su viaje a México los lleva a través de la Guerra Civil americana, los primos observan como gran parte de la historia ha sido moldeada por comunidades Latine. Ellos deben encontrar sus poderes internos para asegurarse de las cosas pasen como tienen que pasar, sin alterar el pasado.
