Mañanaland

By: Pam Muñoz Ryan

Narrated by: Roxana Ortega

Max loves stories, especially the fantastical tale Buelo tells him about a mystical gatekeeper who can guide brave travellers on a journey into tomorrow.

If Max could see tomorrow, he would know if he'd make Santa Maria's celebrated fútbol team, and whether he'd ever find his mother, who left when he was a baby. Papa refuses to talk about her, so Max has learned to stop asking.

But when Papa is forced to reveal his involvement in an underground network of guardians that led people fleeing a neighboring country to safety, and the surprising reason Max's spot on the fútbol team may be threatened, everything he knew about himself and his family is upended.

A treasured compass, a haunted tower, a mysterious stone rubbing, and a peregrine falcon propel Max on a dangerous search for clues about who he is and what the future holds.

So good

Had a great storyline and characters. Also, made me feel emotions unlike other books. Great description. It kind of takes too long to get to the point.

Good story but the narrator is bad

The narrators reading of this store is weird and not entertaining. She sounded like a computers voice.
