A dark fairytale about life and death, grounded in Mexican culture and stewed in age old philosophical conundrums about free will and predestination.
Clara gets swept up in a bingo-style card game between life and death (Loteria). Hers is the life they are playing with, and as her family begins to crumble to pieces, she follows her grieving cousin into another world. Her bravery shines in the darkness, but the whole story does get pretty dark. Not in a violent way, but in a heavy and sad and grievous way.
Unfortunately, the illustrations suffer in ebook format.
