Xenia Navarro and the Magic Ants by Lois Wickstrom and Milagros Darling – Review by Cindy Mayberry

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

This author never ceases to amaze me. This story is also an open ended story of science. But more than that it has other life experiences due to Xenia mother being undocumented. Even though Xenia’s father, a US citizen, had been killed before marrying Xenia’s mother. With the threat of being sent back to Mexico hanging over them, Xenia and her brother knew to lay low. The school science fair in her sights, Xenia discovers ants and takes to learning more about them. While this story was entertaining it was also sad in some parts. However the author did an amazing job explaining both Ants and deportation. This is a must read for all over 7 years of age.
