About the author
Christine Tiday
11 books2 followersChristine Tiday found her love of languages in her grandparents' camper in the early 80's. Singing songs in French and learning to count before hitting the Canadian border provided hours of fun for the young traveler whose summer destinations were historical societies scattered coast to coast. Christine loved these trips with her grandmother, Suzanne Hilton, author of non-fiction works.
When Christine Tiday later became a Spanish Teacher, she couldn't shake her love of writing and languages. Over the past twelve years, Tiday has written numerous adventure stories for her Spanish students to enjoy and in recent years she has made these available in paperback and on Kindle.
Christine's goal is to inspire reading in Spanish even while the student is in the intermediate stage of fluency. As a teacher, she finds that an interesting story can mask hours of practice. Before the student knows it they are gaining proficiency and ready to tackle works intended for native Spanish speakers.

I actually liked this one as a book and a story, not just a hole-filled story I tolerate for language learning! More advanced than most other language-learner (CI) novellas I’ve encountered - probably won’t be able to use with my students for a while.

Nice quick story. The plot was simply and engaging. The words were appropriate for new Spanish readers. Had a good time .. The chapters were short enough to make taking a break was simple and easy..

I selected this book because it is listed as a novel for people who are learning Spanish... So glad I decided to get it and can' wait to read the sequel. A unique girl and her best friend celebrate their birthdays together, although their actual birthdays are about 1 week apart. After their birthdays, each find a mysterious tattoo which appears on their arms. There is plenty of mystery surrounding the girls, the tattoos and the new people they will meet. Loved it!

Great for what it was - a short mystery novel for intermediate level Spanish learners. It's not likely to win any literary awards, but it was orders of magnitude better than reading Buridan's ass again.
