Wrote this to my teacher who gave me this to read. Includes a brief summary of the book. The question she asked was "What was your reaction to this book?" I happily told her this: I have lots of problems with this book, but you said to be brief so I will. My main problem with this book is that it is terrible. This is by far the worst book I have ever read. It is the most cliche, uninteresting book that ever existed. They didn’t even make the idea for this book, they just took it from another book that is very old. Frankly, I am astonished on how you might even consider assigning this book to us. It’s almost as if you didn’t actually read the long, stretched out, cliche, plot hole riddled mess that the Summer of the Mariposas is. Like honestly, they find a dead guy in a swimming hole that they go to which is in mexico, getting there by crawling through a hole inside of the border that is literally in a city and would probably be patched up long before they discovered it, and then instead of reporting it or leaving it alone, they take the body, steal the cash, steal their moms car without telling the mom, lie about their age and get passed the border like 3 times, then somehow find where the guys lives, delivers it to them, then the family is totally fine with it and thinks it is somehow remotely plausible that 5 girls found a body and delivered it to them with the help of a ghost. Then, after that, they have to find their grandma because another magic person told them, then when their car breaks down they have to fight a sheep eating wolf man who is actually a boy, owls that OD’d on meth and are now enraged killers, a poor man’s Hansel and Gretel and some killer clowns that arrived from planet nine. Oh wait, I got mixed up (probably would have made it in the book). Then they meet their grandma and have a bunch of acid and hallucinate a god that brings them across an ancient lake, then they wake up at their swimming hole and go home where they meet their father who has cheated on their mother and brought home their kids thinking it would be fine and dandy. How could you possibly assign this to us? The last question I have is how did they even come up with the idea to make this book? The author was probably smoking a joint and thought up their new idea for a book, then realized it was already a book, then decided to make it anyway. Other than that I liked it!

I liked it when I was younger. It was on my Ipad. Good game.
