Why read it?
1 author picked Martina Has Too Many Tias as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved that the heroine of this story, Martina, is a quiet, imaginative little girl. In contrast, she has loud, rambunctious Tias. So, she slips away at a party and finds a quiet place to imagine.
