Summary:
Elizabeth Acevedo has said that reading Lorraine Avila feels like an UPPERCUT to the senses. We couldnt agree more. We have never encountered an author with prose of this sensitivity and fire.
Yolanda Alvarez is having a good year. Shes starting to feel at home at Julia De Burgos High, her school in the Bronx. She has her best friend Victory, and maybe something with José, a senior boy shes getting to know. Shes confident her initiation into her familys bruja tradition will happen soon.
But then a white boy, the son of a politician, appears at Julia De Burgos, and his vibes are off. And Yolandas initiation begins with a series of troubling visions of the violence this boy threatens. How can Yolanda protect her community, in a world that doesnt listen? Only with the wisdom and love of
her family, friends, and communityand the Brujas Diosas, her ancestors and guides.
The Making of Yolanda La Bruja is the book this country, struggling with the plague of gun violence, so desperately needsbut which few could write. Here Lorraine Avila brings a story born from the intersection of race, justice, education, and spirituality that will capture readers everywhere.
