Description
It is said the mighty feathered serpent god, Quetzalcoatl, helped create the earth. He is the hero who stole back the bones of humanity from the evil god of the Underworld. In his quest to bring humans to the earth, Quetzalcoatl's dog-headed twin brother, Xolotl, was present. Not much is known of Xolotl, the god of lightning, death, and misfortune. A monster.
This is what really happened.
From Newbery Medalist Donna Barba Higuera comes a singular reimagining of the Aztec myth of the origin of man—and man's best friend—that is nothing short of a modern masterpiece.
Advance Praise
“With great success, Higuera explores very human issues such as self-doubt, social isolation, and the nuances of community through these larger-than-life figures; her work rings out with a powerful sense of emotive resonance. A magnificent spin on a well-known Aztec legend.”
★ “A winning reflection on what it means to be an underdog.”-Publisher's Weekly
