Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants by Lois Wickstrom and Milagros Darling – Review by Angela Hayes

Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants by Lois Wickstrom is a great little children’s chapter book. This is a little different from most of Ms. Wickstrom’s other works in that it doesn’t contain any illustrations, and is a much longer story. It is a charming fantasy story with plenty of emotion, sci-fi elements, some basic politics, Spanish language terms, family drama, and more.
Xenia Navarro’s world is turned upside down when her Mexican mother is arrested and threatened with deportation back to Mexico. Xenia is very worried, because if that happens, what will become of her family? What happens makes for a charming read.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Wickstrom has in store for us next.
Happy Reading…
