Inspired by true stories derived from rural Mexico, The Lightning Queen offers a glimpse of the encounter between two fascinating but marginalized cultures-the Rom and the Mixtec Indians-while telling the heart-warming story of an unlikely friendship that spans generations. With the help of a rescued duck, a three-legged skunk, a blind goat, and other allies, Teo and Esma must overcome obstacles-even death-to fulfill their impossible destiny. Against all odds, her caravan's Mistress of Destiny predicts that Teo and Esma will be longtime friends. And then one day, the mysterious young Esma, who calls herself the Gypsy Queen of Lightning, rolls into town like a fresh burst of color. And now, without his sister and mother, eleven-year-old Teo's life feels even more barren. The Lightning Queen - Kindle edition by Resau, Laura.
