Here is a description of the book:
Anyways, Sr. Wooly sent me the book and asked that I be totally honest and share my thoughts about the story, good or bad. So, here are some of my thoughts...
- My younger son, 11, was super excited when I told him about the book. So, we watched the trilogy together the other night to get ready for the book. I will definitely do this with my older students when I get my class set of this book. This will be an excellent pre-Thanksgiving break activity for us. Then, they will get to read the book during SSR. This book is a perfect excuse to re-watch those three videos.
- My son and I read the book together this evening and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.
- The book (as would be expected) is engaging, suspenseful, and intriguing (my son's adjective).
- My son and I found ourselves signing as we read a few times. #MuyMuyMuyMuyGuapo
- I think a lot of students will be able to relate to young Víctor... and for a variety of reasons, from his life to the people and things he encounters at school. Some examples:
- Cringy school assemblies that go a bit overboard
- Mean girls
- The "favorite" teacher
- Nagging parents
- An overachieving sibling
- There are also some connections to a classic horror novel, which many students will recognize.
- The illustrations by Juan Carlos Pinilla are outstanding. I am sure that when I read it again, I will notice more and more things.
- There is definitely a hidden message in the book! (See below)
- It also left me wanting more. Parte 2 comes out in early 2020 and I will definitely be getting that book as well.

Note: I do not work for Sr. Wooly. I did not even have to write this up. But, I will say that Sr. Wooly (and his nuggets) is an integral part of my Spanish 1 curriculum and I appreciate what Jim and his team do so much. They are passionate about offering engaging content for our students, so I am happy to support them!
