I hope you are, too. ![]() I first tried listening to this on audio, but unfortunately the narrator just didn’t work for me. There’s also a hint of romance and increased understanding between Omega and Abby. And although the focus here is on Omega’s Chicane family’s magic, the larger magical community in town includes people whose traditions come from all over the world. Omega’s godmother Soona is the school librarian, and the school library is able to access a magical trans-dimensional library. All of this will require Omega to learn more about her own magical abilities than ever before.Īll of the impending doom is balanced by lots of delightful elements – the poster of Selena Quintanella, the statue of La Virgen, and the lamp in her bedroom, all of whom freely share their opinions with Omega, Clau’s love of creating mayhem in public spaces, the warm and quirky members of Omega’s extended family and their delicious cooking. (Warning for sensitive readers: the kitties are not all right.) A giant feather Omega and Carlitos find points to a giant owl – perhaps the vengeance-driven La Lechuza of legend? Together with their best friend Clau, a ghost who’d rather pretend she’s still alive, they set out to solve the mystery, even as ominous happenings build up around them. This has always been more trouble than it feels like it’s worth, but when Omega’s former best friend Abby accuses Omega and her cousin Carlitos of being behind the disappearance of several neighborhood cats, those skills might come in very handy indeed. She can just feel people’s emotions – easily leading to her being overwhelmed in crowded situations – and hear things like trees talk, and feel the strong feelings around inanimate objects. Omega, though, isn’t able to change people’s negative emotions with her empathic powers like her family members can. Omega is a member of a family in Noche Buena known for being odd – though only a few people in town know that it’s because of their magical powers. Omega Morales and the Legend of La Lechuza ![]()
