La Malinche: The Princess Who Helped Cortés Conquer the Aztec Empire

37 pp. | Groundwood | October, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55498-111-3 $18.95
(3) 4-6 Translated by Susan Ouriou. Illustrated by Pablo Serrano. Reviewing the complicated reputation of La Malinche, the Nahuatl woman who provided Cortés with advice, translation, and eventually a child as he conquered the Aztecs, Serrano makes no judgments. He clearly lays out the facts (where known) of her life and the effects of her actions. Pen-and-gouache illustrations mimic the style of Aztec codices. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos.
