Childhood Journeys Book 1
This is a work of historical fiction very similar to the American Girl books. There is even a doll collection that accompanies the series. Life on young Isabella's hacienda has changed with the death of her mother. Her fathers is sad and distant. One of the hacienda's sheep shearers has been called to work in the mines. This is often a death sentence as one half of the Incans called to duty either die or become ill. Miguel's mother, Yma, will soon be just as sad as Isabella's father. Isabella determines to see the viceroy and ask for an exemption for Miguel. The book, written in diary format, has a very informative historical afterword and glossary of Spanish terms.
