This book was okay. I thought it was pretty good, but I'm not quite sure if it is proper for children of certain ages considering all the death that happens. But, I guess these things happen and they need to be faced at some point. I still could have done without Uncle Osvaldo randomly dropping dead and Isabella crying tears of joy because he died. Overall though, a well written story with a good inspiration base. =)
In this book a little prince named Francisco is handicapped and can't walk. He has a party, but Francisco's mom can't make it, because she is ill. Francisco's uncle Osvaldo wants to be king so he tells one of his prisoners named Carmen to care for Francisco. Osvaldo tells her that she is going to stay in a tower in Tierra Dolorosa. The pictures in this book are cute. The story is cute, too.
