When twelve-year-old Izzy discovers a beat-up baseball marked with the words "Becausemagic" while unpacking in yet another new apartment, she is determined to figure out what it means. What secrets does this old ball have to tell? Her mom certainly isn't sharing anyespecially when it comes to Izzy's father, who died before Izzy was born. But when she spends the summer in her Nana's remote New Mexico village, Izzy discovers long-buried secrets that come alive in an enchanted landscape of watermelon mountains, whispering winds, and tortilla suns. Infused with the flavor of the southwest and sprinkled with just a pinch of magic, this heartfelt middle grade debut is as rich and satisfying as Nana's homemade enchiladas.

Product description

Review

BOOKLIST
Cervantes first novel is rich with local color-both physical landscapes and traditional spiritual beliefs....this should be popular with readers who enjoyed Sharon Creech s Granny Torrelli Makes Soup (2003) or Pam Mu oz Ryan s Becoming Naomi Leon (2004).

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
[A] strong debut....Cervantes fills her story with mystical possibilities-- talking with spirits, hearing what the wind whispers, gathering powerful herbs by moonlight--but also with the inescapable realities of illness, death, and mourning. The result is an imaginative yet grounded novel.

KIRKUS REVIEWS
Cervantes evokes the beauty of the setting and develops a memorable cast of characters, brought to life through Izzy s heartfelt narration. A beautiful and engaging debut novel.

SCHOOL LIBRARY REVIEW
\\\"This gentle family story may hold appeal for those who have enjoyed the works of Pam Mu oz Ryan and Toby Johnston.\\\"

About the Author

Jennifer Cervantes lives with her husband and three daughters in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where she enjoys sunsets, tortillas, and chiles fresh from the family farm. Tortilla Sun is her first novel for children, and she is currently working on her second.

Tortilla Sun is a novel for all ages

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 7 November 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is about a young girl who discovers a baseball that once was her father's that reveals words. This leads to a series of questions that her mom was not answering. But this all changes when Lizzy is forced to spend the summer in New Mexico. From there secrets come alive, through whispering winds, and tortilla suns. From her stay, she will come to find who she was and how she could finally belong somewhere. To me, this is a perfect middle school novel because we deal with a girl who is not yet a teen but on the verge of becoming a teen. The novel is well constructed, allowing you to want to continue reading chapter after chapter. What makes the novel stand out more is the surprising elements in it that you would not expect. There are many details that you would not expect to be in this novel like the essence of baseball. The characters involved make the story richer and help you see the value of a village for Izzy. The characters also find a way into your heart and you want to know more and more about each character. What I found most important was the Mexican culture is part of the novel and you are able to get an understanding somewhat of the Mexican culture.

Because ........ Magic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 24 October 2012

Verified Purchase

This is one of those books that recognizes that children have real experiences and hard things in their life, without becoming a Problem Book.

Izzy's dad died before she was born, and her mom loves her very much, but moves her around a lot. This summer, her mom is heading out to do research and Izzy is stuck visiting her grandmother for the summer. The horror!

The story continues along, unfolding prettily. There is magic in the world, and especially in the little village. Izzy wins races, learns to tell stories, and becomes a part of a community in a way she never has been before. It is not all easy or magic, and sometimes she has to grow and stretch in ways she does not expect, but it all winds up good, as we usually expect from mid-grade books.

I really liked that I could see Izzy growing up, and making decisions she wouldn't have at the start of the book.

Read if: You like magical realism. You want to read about girls who win races and learn to make tortillas. You realize that sometimes sad things happen to pretty happy kids.

Skip if: You want something more sophisticated than a mid-grade book.

Must read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 1 December 2021

Verified Purchase

A must read for any age. Izzy (the main character) develops really well throughout the story as she figures out where she comes from and who her father was. This book explores several themes and will get you quite familiar to Izzy's Hispanic culture. The book does explore some mythical and supernatural themes that might frighten or disturb some readers but nothing too extreme. After reading this book you will be presented with new lessons and views of life. All in all, this book is perfect for any age group that is looking for a good read.

Just Beautiful!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 5 May 2010

Verified Purchase

Beautiful debut with a pitch-perfect middle-grade voice. Great setting and characters with just a hint of magic that makes it even more special. Jen has created a New Mexico village that makes me want to move there and get to know the people who inhabit it even better.

When Izzy is shipped off to her grandmother's village, she starts to put the pieces of her early life together - how did her father die? Is the baseball she found full of magic? Why does she hear words on the wind? Pick this up and settle in for a quiet and satisfying trip with arresting language and images that are sure to stay with you long after you close the cover.

4.5 Stars. A delightful story about a girl finding her place in her history, her culture, and her future. And it’s all wrapped up in New Mexico.
