Kids' Book of the Week , May 2, 2016
At the end of Calle Sol in Puerto Rico, the myth says, there's a cursed house consumed in plants, the home to a scientist and his daughter, a girl filled with poison and with green skin and grass for hair. One boy, the son of a Texan hotel tycoon despised by the locals for transforming their beloved island into Resort-ville, has maintained a deep curiosity over the years about the cursed girl, and when a mysterious note revealing a dark mystery appears in his room a vivid and unique tale begins that will enthrall readers looking for something a bit "out there." (14 and up)
