Upon their arrival, she remains pouty and pessimistic, exasperating even her mother, who tells her, “Seriously Paloma…you’re the only one who complains about a free trip to Mexico.” She will miss out, she laments, on her familiar Kansas City summer: fireworks, reading by the pool, shopping at the mall with friends (all things she can do in Mexico, too, of course). But thanks to a literature fellowship awarded to her mother, Emma, at a Mexican university, she is left with little choice. MY TWO CENTS: Paloma Marquez does not want to travel to Mexico City. Do they really want to return the ring, or are they after something else entirely?
What better way to honor her father than returning a priceless piece of jewelry that once belonged to his favorite artist! But the brother and sister have a secret. Finding the ring means a big reward - and the thanks of all Mexico. While in Mexico, Paloma meets Lizzie and Gael, who present her with an irresistible challenge: The siblings want her to help them find a valuable ring that once belonged to beloved Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. She’s hoping that spending time in Mexico will help her unlock memories of the too-brief time they spent together. Paloma Marquez is traveling to Mexico City, birthplace of her deceased father, for the very first time. Maybe Something Beautiful, F.DECRIPTION OF THE BOOK: A room locked for fifty years.
