"Wonder". What a great book!
Wonder, by R. J. Palacio.
I read this book to my 9 year old son and we both loved it. It was too long for him to read by himself, but when I read it to him he was immersed in the story.
The book tells the story of Auggie, a kid with deformed face from New York city, as he starts going to public school for the first time at the age of 10.

Memories from Guadalajara
The Guadalajara International Book Fair is the most important publishing gathering in Latin America.
I flew to meet up with my dear friend Prentice, who lives in Mexico city, and together we took the overnight bus to Guadalajara.
