When Emma disappears and the police turn up no leads, it’s up to Paola, Dante, and some magical items from Dante’s abuela to find her and save the world. These three friends do not let family dysfunction or wealth keep them from being kids. Dante lives with his abuela at the same apartment complex as Paola, while Emma comes from a more upper-class family from a different side of town. She spends her days with her best friends Emma and Dante stargazing and snacking on junk food. Set in Silver Springs, Arizona, Paolo lives on the edge of town at a rundown apartment complex. In the latest edition to the Rick Riordan Presents Banner, we are introduced to our title character Paola Santiago who is on the cusp of 7th grade, obsessed with space, and making sense of the mythical tales and superstitions that her mother has embarrassed her with since she was a child. Readers will be excited and a little bit scared as they dive into the world of La Llorona and Mexican folklore with Tehlor Kay Mejia’s Paola Santiago and the River of Tears.
