Mlawski, Shana

YA
Loosely anchored to its historical setting, this tale follows Baltasar as he comes to terms with his complex religious and ethnic ancestry, learns to conjure, searches for his father, and accompanies Columbus to the Americas, all while fleeing the Inquisition. Although Mlawski's attempt to demonstrate the era's cultural complexity is admirable, too many elements compete for prominence in this multicultural fantasy.
