Rick Riordan Presents Paola Santiago and the Sanctuary of Shadows (a Paola Santiago Novel, Book 3)

“I am really envious of you, reading this book for the first time.”
—Rick Riordan, New York Times #1 best-selling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

"Paola Santiago and the River of Tears is just plain marvelous. Paola is a brilliant, furious girl who often trusts her brain but trips over her heart. This book is a thrilling adventure from start to finish, with a bright core of emotional honesty anchoring it to reality."

"A clever, twisty, imaginative take on the ever-spooky folktale La Llorona. Filled with love and fear and courage. Readers will delight!"

"Mejia pulls no punches in showing us the monsters--whether fantastic or all too real--that children who live on the border between two cultures face every day."

" Has the perfect blend of action, heart, and honesty in showing a painful world that most readers will already recognize--and proving the perfect amount of hope that they will survive and thrive. Tehlor Kay Mejia's writing is pure magic."

"Paola Santiago is a whip-smart Latina who dares to explore the shadows between folklore and middle-school friendship."
