David Bowles recommends

The Writing Room (2025)
Marcia Argueta Mickelson
"A timely and compelling portrait of people who rise above broken families and oppressive systems to find belonging and solidarity with one another. . . Daringly defiant and achingly hopeful, The Writing Room is an essential book that speaks to this moment with clear vision and powerful prose. Not to be missed!"

Aniana Del Mar Jumps In (2023)
Jasminne Mendez
"Aniana del Mar Jumps in is about trusting our own bodies when they tell us what they can and cannot do, trusting our own hearts when they point the way, and trusting one another when we say who we are and what we need. Jasminne Mendez uses multiple poetic forms and deft lyricism to explore the knotty intaglios of family and community, guiding readers through multiple emotional storms to a rousing, heart-warming conclusion."

Cece Rios and the Desert of Souls (2021)
(Cece Rios, book 1)
Kaela Rivera
"Pokemon meets Coco in a spirited and moving adventure, at once familiar and tantalizingly strange, peopled by beautifully crafted and vivid characters."
