I've taken Spanish classes for two years and never actually finished a book. I finished one of Estefanía's in four days and started the next one the same night.

Estefanía writes like she actually likes Spanish — which sounds obvious but isn't. Most graded readers feel like punishment. These feel like a small vacation.

Mi profesora me recomendó este libros y ahora leo en español todos los días. ¡Por fin entiendo lo que es 'leer por placer' en otro idioma!

The country tags are genius. I'd been learning 'Spanish' as if it was one thing. Now I'm picking up an Argentine book on purpose because I want the voseo.

I'm 67 and I started learning last year. These are the only books I've found that don't talk down to me. Story first, grammar later. Gracias, Estefanía.

Bought all four. Reading them with my 14-year-old. We argue about who gets to read first. (I always win.)
