Good challenge! I am considering books by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Diane Guerrero, and Luis Carlos Montalván. I wish the library had The Dirty Girls Social Club by Alisa Valdes for this; my SIL says they're hilarious!
I might just browse the Spanish section at the library.
I read the graphic novel Blacksad by Juan Díaz Canales. It's a film noir style detective story. All the characters are anthropomorphic animals. There's nudity and violence but also humor.
i'm reading blue bloods by Melissa de la Cruz
I finished "Silver People: Voices from the Panama Canal" by Margarita Engle. She does lovely verse novels!
I read Becoming Naomi León which has been on my to read list for a while. I enjoyed it, although one bit bothered me because it didn't make sense based on my experience and could have bern better done, imho.

I finished
This was a really good book about something I didn't know happened; children from Cuba being sent to the US to live with foster families. I gave it 5 stars.
Linda, I'm starting The Red Umbrella soon for a different challenge. I also wasn't aware of this slice of history.

I also read The Wild Book by Margarita Engle.
