Dear Sarah-Anne, Matt isn’t going to dress up that differently from anyone else. Most of the time he would wear jeans and a T-shirt. At parties he would be dressed very formally in a suit. Mexican children are dressed exactly like adults for parties. The one exception is the Day of the Dead, which is like our Halloween. Mexicans are very fond of dressing up like skeletons with big sombreros, fancy black jackets and pants decorated with silver. Google The Day of the Dead and I’ll bet you will come up with lots of pictures and ideas. Mexicans have displays of skeletons doing almost anything, getting married, going on picnics, driving cars. I hope this helps.
Thanks to “sgs” for asking me to write a sequel to The House of the Scorpion. I’ll be working on it next year, after I’ve finished my current book, The Islands of the Blessed. These things take time…
