"Anaya has retold a Mexican legend and made it his own with his spiritual prose. . .A beautifully written and illustrated title."--School Library Journal
"Alburquerque is a rich and tempestuous book, full of love and compassion, the complex and exciting skullduggery of politics, and the age-old quest for roots, identity, family."--John Nichols, author of The Milagro Beanfield War
