SUMMARY

Seeking relief from the hot and humid Miami summer, Mimi and her little brother Joe discover a magical place where they can unleash their imagination and have many adventures--the library!

REVIEW

“This eloquently told story is boldly illustrated with evocative acrylic paintings in shades of orange, red, and yellow. A few wordless spreads fluidly depict Mimi's imaginary adventure as a fairy-tale princess, as she rides a pink unicorn and foils a robbery. [Hot City is a] tribute to the benefits of visiting the library and the joys of reading.”—Linda L. Walkins, Mount Saint Joseph Academy, Brighton, MA
