Happy Book birthday to @marciamickelson.bsky.social

The Writing Room is a slice-of-life coming-of-age story that addresses larger themes of immigration, economic disparity, and emotional abuse.

Happy Book Birthday to Sandra Proudman & her book, Salvación. In this Latinx YA inspired by El Zorro, Lola de La Peña becomes the masked heroine in order to save her family & town from a man who would destroy it for the magic it contains...if she doesn't fall in love with a boy in his company first.
