One of my fave authors is coming to the Blue Willow Bookshop on Thursday, Jan. 22nd…Matt de la Pena! I can’t even tell you how excited I am! To prepare for his visit, I’m reading WE WERE HERE. Currently, I’m about half way through and very impressed with his ability to bring life to these characters. Miguel and his group home friends have lived through some incredibly tough situations. I’m looking forward to seeing how Matt de la Pena brings closure to their stories.
We Were Here by Matt de la Pena
After a judge sentences Miguel to spend a year in a group home and write in a journal, he makes plans to escape the youth detention center and go to Mexico, where he can put his past behind him.
