Charlie Hernández & the Castle of Bones (Charlie Hernández #2)
by Ryan Calejo&“Well worth it for ravenous fans of quest stories.&” —Kirkus Reviews&“A highly recommended adventure series&” —School Library JournalInspired by Hispanic folklore, legends, and myths from the Iberian Peninsula and Central and South America, this bold sequel to Charlie Hernández & the League of Shadows, which Booklist called &“a perfect pick for kids who love Rick Riordan&” in a starred review, follows Charlie as he continues on his quest to embrace his morphling identity.Charlie Hernandez still likes to think of himself as a normal kid. But what&’s normal about being a demon-slaying preteen with an encyclopedic knowledge of Latino mythology who can partially manifest nearly any animal trait found in nature? Well, not much. But, Charlie believes he can get used to this new &“normal,&” because being able to sprout wings or morph fins is pretty cool.But there is a downside: it means having to constantly watch his back for La Mano Peluda&’s sinister schemes. And when the leader of La Liga, the Witch Queen Jo herself, is suddenly kidnapped, Charlie&’s sure they&’re at it again.Determined to save the queen and keep La Liga&’s alliances intact, Charlie and his good friend Violet Rey embark on a perilous journey to track down her captors. As Charlie and Violet are drawn deeper into a world of monstruos and magia they are soon left with more questions than answers—like, why do they keep hearing rumors of dead men walking, and why is Charlie suddenly having visions of an ancient evil: a necromancer priest who&’s been dead for more than five centuries?Charlie&’s abuela once told him that when dead men walk, the living run in fear. And Charlie&’s about to learn the truth of that—the hard way.
Charlie Hernández & the Golden Dooms (Charlie Hernández #3)
by Ryan CalejoInspired by Latinx folklore, legends, and myths from the Iberian Peninsula and Central and South America, this &“clever, funny, and entertaining&” (Kirkus Reviews) third book in the Charlie Hernández series follows Charlie as he faces off against an army of the dead.After hitchhiking across Central and South America to rescue the Witch Queen and face off against La Mano Peluda, Charlie Hernández is pretty much grounded for life. But after all he&’s been through, some quiet time at home with his parents might be nice. Though it would be better if he didn&’t have to share his room with his obnoxiously perfect cousin Raúl, who&’s staying with them. But quiet is hard to come by when you&’re the fifth and final morphling, and it&’s not long before death walks back into Charlie&’s life. Or at least, the dead do, starting with a mysterious young calaca who corners him at school, dropping cryptic hints about trouble brewing in the 305. With the League of Shadows focused on repairing fractured alliances and tracking gathering armies, this one&’s up to Charlie to solve. Following the clues only leads to more questions, and not even teenage investigative journalist extraordinaire Violet Rey can figure out how a sudden rooster infestation, earthquakes, missing persons, and a pet-napping gang of lizard-men—whom Charlie doesn&’t recognize from any legend—are all connected. Most concerning of all is when they learn a map has been stolen that reveals the locations of the Golden Dooms, the twelve ancient calaca watchmen who form the magical barrier between the realms. To stop the impending invasion, Charlie and Violet must outwit an ancient evil and unravel the most sinister of schemes. That is, unless they&’d rather watch the Land of the Living get overrun by the dead.
Charlie Hernández & the League of Shadows (Charlie Hernández #1)
by Ryan Calejo&“A perfect pick for kids who love Rick Riordan.&” —Booklist (starred review)&“A winner for all kids, but it will be especially loved by Latinx and Hispanic families.&” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) The Lightning Thief meets the Story Thieves series in this middle grade fantasy inspired by Hispanic folklore, legends, and myths from the Iberian Peninsula and Central and South America.Charlie Hernández has always been proud of his Latin American heritage. He loves the culture, the art, and especially the myths. Thanks to his abuela&’s stories, Charlie possesses an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the monsters and ghouls who have spent the last five hundred years haunting the imaginations of children all across the Iberian Peninsula, as well as Central and South America. And even though his grandmother sometimes hinted that the tales might be more than mere myth, Charlie&’s always been a pragmatist. Even barely out of diapers, he knew the stories were just make-believe—nothing more than intricately woven fables meant to keep little kids from misbehaving.But when Charlie begins to experience freaky bodily manifestations—ones all too similar to those described by his grandma in his favorite legend—he is suddenly swept up in a world where the mythical beings he&’s spent his entire life hearing about seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Hispanic folklore and into his life. And even stranger, they seem to know more about him than he knows about himself.Soon, Charlie finds himself in the middle of an ancient battle between La Liga, a secret society of legendary mythological beings sworn to protect the Land of the Living, and La Mano Peluda (a.k.a. the Hairy Hand), a cabal of evil spirits determined to rule mankind. With only the help of his lifelong crush, Violet Rey, and his grandmother&’s stories to guide him, Charlie must navigate a world where monsters and brujas rule and things he couldn&’t possibly imagine go bump in the night. That is, if he has any hope of discovering what&’s happening to him and saving his missing parents (oh, and maybe even the world).No pressure, muchacho.
Charlie Hernández & the Phantom of Time (Charlie Hernández #4)
by Ryan CalejoInspired by Latinx folklore, legends, and myths from the Iberian Peninsula and Central and South America, this fourth book in the Charlie Hernández series follows Charlie as he travels back in time to save the Land of the Living.Charlie has received a letter from the Land of the Dead—a dire warning from his grandmother concerning his (and the rest of La Liga&’s) impending demise. He doesn&’t have much to go on, but according to the letter, a mysterious incident in the past, known only as &“The Five Donkeys,&” set in motion an unstoppable chain of events that will culminate in the total destruction of the Land of the Living. Left with little alternative, Charlie, Violet, and Raúl enlist Esperanza&’s help to use forbidden calaca magic and travel back in time to the place where the trouble began: 1950s Cuba. But all they discover in the mountain rainforests of Havana is a trail of dark secrets. And the deeper they dig, the more questions they unearth, none of which help them decipher what La Mano Peluda is planning. But perhaps most alarming of all, the friends soon learn that they are not the only time travelers in town. Pursued by an unspeakable evil, Charlie and Violet must race against time to untangle the past, present, and future before the world they love vanishes into history.

Charlotte Sometimes
by Penelope FarmerA time-travel story that is both a poignant exploration of human identity and an absorbing tale of suspense.It's natural to feel a little out of place when you're the new girl, but when Charlotte Makepeace wakes up after her first night at boarding school, she's baffled: everyone thinks she's a girl called Clare Mobley, and even more shockingly, it seems she has traveled forty years back in time to 1918. In the months to follow, Charlotte wakes alternately in her own time and in Clare's. And instead of having only one new set of rules to learn, she also has to contend with the unprecedented strangeness of being an entirely new person in an era she knows nothing about. Her teachers think she's slow, the other girls find her odd, and, as she spends more and more time in 1918, Charlotte starts to wonder if she remembers how to be Charlotte at all. If she doesn't figure out some way to get back to the world she knows before the end of the term, she might never have another chance.
