Disclaimer: This is a review from a non-native speaker and comes from my perspective as a Spanish teacher.

Pros: I thought the book had a lot of funny moments. I like the unique styling of the book, with the pages tinted in yellow, and different fonts used to emphasize certain sentences and dialogue. I think those elements and also the great illustrations would really appeal to young readers. The book has a fun quirky style that stays consistent throughout. It was clearly the introductory book in the series, and it left me wanting to see what kinds of adventures Diego, Julia and Perrock have in the future.

Cons: I thought there could have been a bit more "mystery" for the reader. There weren't a lot of surprises in the storyline, but this was the introductory book in the series and I imagine it might be better in the future (as I find that often to be the case for series). Also, as a teacher, there were two things that make me hesitant to share this book with children and teens in my classes: #1 First, there is a strange and unnecessary scene early in the book where Perrock sees a female dog. He says, "A mí me molan altas" and pounces on her, trying to seduce (ligar) her. It then explains that "ligar" for him just meant insistently sniff her up and down. To me this scene adds nothing to the story, but instead makes light of a personified dog making sexual advances on another animal regardless of consent. This could be an awkward scene to discuss with my students, but I'm sure it would draw their attention. #2 There is a demeaning and stereotypical representation of an asian massage therapist and manicurist in the book. From the illustration of her to the narrative description, and her "acento chino," the character serves as little more than a comedic foil. There is no reason for her to be asian, except to make someone laugh because of stereotypes and the fact that she is "other." She has no agency and really contributes nothing to the story. This character could have been replaced with any everyday Spanish person, and the author could have found some other way to incorporate comedy into the passages in the massage parlor.
