Book Synopsis

Yolanda's year is on fire – but it's not the good kind.

Just as things are clicking at school and with her friends, a bad feeling rolls into the Bronx. A new white student sets Yolanda on edge, and her bruja initiation brings terrifying visions of violence. Can Yolanda, with the love of her community and the power of her ancestors, protect everything she holds dear?

This is the story our world needs right now.

'Written in stunning prose, this sharp examination of education, race, violence, and spirituality is a must-read.' —The Mary Sue

In a world battling gun violence, Yolanda fights back with magic, resilience, and a fierce Dominican spirit. The Making of Yolanda la Bruja is a powerful debut novel that explores race, justice, education, and the strength found in community.
