As many of you may know, the 15th of September through the 15th of October marks Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to learn and celebrate the diverse Hispanic heritage. To celebrate the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to share some books that highlight the hispanic heritage, while also being a fun throwback.
The books in question are the three books in the Storm Runner by J.C. Cervantes trilogy, an fascinating story about Maya mythology, and the Sal and Gabi duology by Carlos Hernandez, a blend of science fiction and Cuban folklore. Both of the series are "Rick Riordan Presents" books, meaning they have a distinctive Percy Jackson-esque feel while being incredibly original and an opener into the different cultures. When I was younger, I devoured all mythology books (particularly the Rick Riordan Presents books, of which I have an impressive collection) and both of these stories, while so different, helped expand my horizon while furthering my love for reading. While they are meant for a young/middle grade audience, they are fun reads for all, regardless of age.
