I tink Firefly Letters is the only Engle book I haven't read. You make a great point about diversity. Coming this spring, keep an eye out for THE QUEEN OF WATER (http://www.lauraresau.com/the-queen-of-water.html) by Laura Resau and María Virginia Farinango, set in Ecuador. It's a work of fiction based on Farinango's childhood and spans from age 7 to about 14 or 15. Ari, it is always so great to hear authors speak about their works and work process.

Sammy and Julianna in Hollywood is one of my favorite books 0f 2010. It's pure...wow. I still have yet to read Last Night I Sang to the Monster :( The Firefly Letters was an eye opening book. It left me wanting more but i appreciated learning about the story. It would be nice to see a YALSA award for Latino YA. I would also like to see more diveristy in Latino YA (Mayra Dole and others have toched on this). We have many quinceaneara storeis now, I'd like more stories about traveling to Spanish-speaking countries, growing up in America but not necessarily having to deal with the immigrant experience. Good stories but they grow a bit tiring after awhile. Plus I only seem to be able to find boks about Mexican, Cuban and Puerto Rican teens. I'd like more stories about Guatemalan, Hondurain, Chilean, Dominican, etc. teens! I would have loved to have attended this panel. Sammy and Julianna in Hollywood is one of my favorite books 0f 2010.
