![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Teo himself is struggling to find his place in a world that seems impossibly lonely without his sister. Teo’s mother is paralyzed by her sorrow, unable to leave her room or even hold a normal conversation. In long, long ago, when Teo meets Esma, his family is still reeling from the death of his twin sister the year before. He tells of a young boy whose family has been fractured by tragedy, and of the young gypsy girl and her caravan who change his life forever after they come to the Hill of Dust. Before long, Mateo’s grandfather launches into a captivating tale, one he’s been longing to tell for years. Mateo and his mother visit their family in Oaxaca every summer, but this year, Mateo can tell there is something different about his grandfather as soon as he arrives. The Lightning Queen by Laura Resau is a story told in two times, the present day and what is known only as “Long, Long Ago,” but only one place - the Hill of Dust in Oaxaca, Mexico. ![]()
