Guadalupe García McCall is an award-winning young adult novelist, educator, poet, and speaker. Born in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, she immigrated with her close-knit family to Eagle Pass, Texas (the setting for most of her poems and some of her novels) when she was six years old. Ms. Garcia McCall travels all over the country speaking to students and adults on topics of importance to the Latine community. She is an advocate for literacy and diverse books. Though she keeps a home in Texas, she is currently an Assistant Professor of English at George Fox University and lives with her husband in the Pacific Northwest most of the year.

In the heart of the Great Depression, Rancho Las Moras, like everywhere else in Texas, is gripped by the drought of the Dust Bowl, and resentment is building among white farmers against Mexican Americans. All around town, signs go up proclaiming No Dogs or Mexicans and No Mexicans Allowed. When Estrella organizes a protest against the treatment of tejanos in their town of Monteseco, Texas, her whole family becomes a target of repatriation efforts to send Mexicans back to Mexico whether they were... In Eagle Pass, Texas, Grace struggles to understand the echoes she inherited from her mother — visions which often distort her reality. One morning, as her sister, Mercy, rushes off to work, a disturbing echo takes hold of Grace, and within moments, tragedy strikes. Attending community college for the first time, talking to the boy next door, and working toward her goals all help Grace recover, but her estrangement from Mercy takes a deep toll.

From Pura Belpré Award-winning author Guadalupe García McCall comes the first in the Seasons of Sisterhood trilogy: a reimagining of Sophocles' Antigone set in the world of her bestselling Summer of the Mariposas. Eighteen-year-old Joaquín del Toro’s future looks bright. With his older brother in the priesthood, he’s set to inherit his family’s Texas ranch. He’s in love with Dulceña — and she’s in love with him. But it’s 1915, and trouble has been brewing along the US-Mexico border. On one side, the Mexican Revolution is taking hold; on the other, Texas Rangers fight Tejano insurgents, and ordinary citizens are caught in the middle.

📕 Title: Fall of the Fireflies✏️ Author: Guadalupe García McCall📖 Genre: YA Fiction / Magical Realism⭐ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐📝 Book #1 – Seasons of Sisterhood TrilogyBOOK BLURBFall of the Fireflies by Guadalupe García McCall is... Inspired by the story of Antigone, this story incorporates Nahuatl vocabulary and Aztec mythology. It is the first book in the Seasons of Sisterhood trilogy, taking place in Texas Rio Grande, two years after the events of Summer of the Mariposas.REVIEWNote: It’s not necessary to read the prequel... However, it’s referenced frequently so if you can read it ahead of Fall of the Fireflies I recommend doing that.This is a dual narrative by twins Delia and Velia, teen sisters who find themselves... I loved the contrast of Velia, who is more reserved, and Delia, who is more outgoing, and how their personalities parallel that of the Creator Twins, Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl. The twins have a big, blended family which comes with numerous challenges, many that felt especially relatable to me.

The twins must also rely on the help of their friends to help them not only with their school project, but with their quest to save their father. I liked the dynamic of the friend group and I loved the cute romance subplot.Beyond the themes of family and sisterhood, the story was full of adventure with deadly stakes and divine magic. The twins encounter Aztec gods, mythological creatures, magical gifts, curses, and more. Though the Nahuatl words were unfamiliar to me, they were well explained in context and there’s even a glossary at the end for easy reference. I enjoyed this story and can’t wait for the next book!
