The Midnight War of Mateo Martinez
The Midnight War of Mateo Martinez | Robin Yardi
1 post | 3 read | 4 to read
Life is confusing for Mateo Martinez. He and Johnny Ramirez don't hang out anymore, even though they used to be best friends. He and his new friend Ashwin try to act like brave, old-time knights, but it only gets them in trouble. And last night, two skunks stole Mateo's old trike. Wait—two skunks stole his trike? Mateo is too big for that rusty kid toy. He has a cool, shiny new bike anyway. But Mateo also has a neighborhood to protect. And he's about to begin a big, stinky quest to catch the thieves in the middle of the night! As Mateo protects his neighborhood, he also learns a few things about growing up and letting go.

The Midnight War of Mateo Martinez | Robin Yardi
post image

We did a mini genre project at work over the past few months. My genre was multicultural books and due in June. I'll be sharing a few of the books here. Below is my annotation:

Fourth grader Mateo Martinez is living through a bit of a rough patch. His best friend used to be Johnny Ramirez, but Johnny doesn't hang out with him anymore. Mateo starts hanging out with Ashwin, who shares his values of bravery, loyalty, and honor.

aLmYbNeNr In fact, the two often pretend to be medieval knights and their bikes are their trusty steeds.

But...pretending to be a knight gets Mateo into trouble. Strike two. Then, one night Mateo's old trike that was handed down to his little sister goes missing. His parents think he's hiding it from Mila, so he enlists Ashwin to help catch the thieves. 7y
aLmYbNeNr Of course, Mila insists on tagging along. To Mateo's immense surprise, it turns out that skunks stole Mila's trike and...they talk? 7y
aLmYbNeNr The title character's Mexican American culture is there but not heavily focused on. Expect strong themes of bullying, friendship, and sibling relationships. Recommended for reluctant readers, as well as fans of adventure and anthropomorphic characters. Suggest to young readers interested in Rick Riordan's books but who aren't quite ready for them yet.#themidnightwarofmateomartinez #robinyardi #booksandflowers #booksandfood 7y
