A review by lorialdenholuta
Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa by Julian Randall

2.0

While I love Pilar's personality and love of filmmaking, other aspects of this book didn't appeal to me. The decision to blend/mix languages was extremely jolting as I don't speak the second language used. Now, if the digital version had included annotations (clickable) for each instance of that, I could have made a grand start on learning a second language. Instead, I felt like an outsider, not included in the conversation. And since this is a book meant for young readers, that's an issue kids already face far too often.

I give this one two stars for effort and imagination, but can't go higher due to the language barrier issues.
