Now, Carlos is between *"la espada y la pared.” He has to make serious decisions. However, a short story in Spanish class may hold the key to all of his problems, and may ultimately lead to his biggest confession of all. Find out in the second installment of the series.

Vooral ook leuk dat t lukt om een boek in het Spaans te lezen.

[Ali Jensen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was very good! In the beginning it was very hard to understand some words in the beginning and the glossary was all out of whack, I ended up having to get help from the teacher. Towards the end though, I understood the context and what was going on. Very good story line that kept me engaged. I also didn’t read the first one, but was able to understand everything that was going on. I recommend.
