The short version of our manifesto
YES to stories.
NO to bullfighter clichés.
NO to bullfighter clichés.
Spanish is spoken by over 400 million people across 22 countries. Most graded readers act like it's only spoken in one of them.
Every book here is set somewhere specific — Cartagena, Valparaíso, Oaxaca, Quito — with characters who actually sound like they live there. You'll meet voseo. You'll meet Caribbean rhythm. You'll meet a Madrid dinner party. You won't meet a single flamenco dancer (unless one is genuinely necessary to the plot).

What people are saying.
“
I've taken Spanish classes for two years and never actually finished a book. I finished one of Estefanía's in four days and started the next one the same night.

Estefanía writes like she actually likes Spanish — which sounds obvious but isn't. Most graded readers feel like punishment. These feel like a small vacation.

Mi profesora me recomendó este libros y ahora leo en español todos los días. ¡Por fin entiendo lo que es 'leer por placer' en otro idioma!
