Author Anna Meriano Shares 5 Delicious Facts About Love Sugar Magic: A Sprinkle of Spirits:
- FACT #1
- This is the second book in the Love Sugar Magic series, which means that instead of sneaking around to do magic, Leo (the main character) is working with her family to cast spells and solve problems. There are still plenty of secrets flying around in this book, but in general, Leo keeps secrets with her family instead of from them, which is usually a lot easier.
- FACT #2
- Leo is the youngest of five sisters, and she looks up to all her older sisters in different ways. But sometimes, like in the second book, they give her advice that might not be the best for her. Leo has to figure out how to make her own decisions and forge her own path, even when it’s hard to disagree with her sisters. Luckily, she has some help from an unexpected source.
- FACT #3
- The character of Caroline, Leo’s best friend, shares her heritage with two of my real life best friends, both of whom are Costa Rican. Although the books celebrate certain aspects of Mexican American culture, I wanted to include characters with heritage from other parts of Latin America as well. Plus, my friends and I also share Caroline’s experience of growing up part of two different cultures, which is something that Caroline gets to explore more in the second book!
- FACT #4
- The first book took place during the week of Día de los Muertos, a traditional holiday celebrated in Mexico and other parts of Latin America, that’s gotten a lot of popular attention with movies like The Book of Life and Coco. The second book takes place during another holiday, Día de los Reyes, which happens on January 6th and celebrates the day the Wise Men (or Three Kings) came to Bethlehem. It’s celebrated with a special type of cake, and some people even get their Christmas presents on that day instead of on Christmas.
- FACT #5
- In book one, Leo learns that her family has magic connected with baking, and she hears that while not everyone is a bruja like her family, everyone has some special skill or talent that they can use to express their own type of magic. In book two she finds out more about this, and some of her family members even interact with other spellcasters. What’s your special skill or talent, the thing that you’re really good at and love doing? I’m pretty sure mine is writing!
