5.0
I liked this sequel to I Lived On Butterfly Hill because it shows the aftermath of the dictatorship. It shows that everything wasn't immediately a 'happily ever after' after Celeste is reunited with her family. Yes, the General is gone, but there is still lots of trauma to deal with. Celeste's mother is only starting to talk about what she endured during the dictatorship, and many people are still trying to find their loved ones who have disappeared.
Celeste starts literacy classes for many of the people on Butterfly Hill (with the help of old friend Cristóbal and a donkey named Milui) and also starts something she calls 'memory maps.' I thought the memory maps were a really cool idea.
I recommend this sequel to anyone who liked the first book!
