    Water in May

    Fifteen-year-old Mari Pujols believes that the baby she's carrying will finally mean she' ll have a family member who will love her deeply and won't ever leave her—not like her mama, who took off when she was eight; or her papi, who's in jail; or her abuela, who wants as little to do with her as possible. But when doctors discover a potentially fatal heart defect in the fetus, Mari faces choices she never could have imagined. Surrounded by her loyal girl crew, her off-and-on boyfriend, and a dedicated doctor, Mari navigates a decision that could emotionally cripple the bravest of women. But both Mari and the broken-hearted baby inside her are fighters; and it doesn't take long to discover that this sick baby has the strength to heal an entire family. Inspired by true events, this gorgeous debut has been called “heartfelt, heartbreaking and—yes!—even a little heart-healing, too by bestselling YA novelist Carolyn Mackler.

    安徒生童话(下)

    我的朋友告诉我:你最好跟读者们谈谈你童话的创作情况,例如你为什么会写到这个故事,这个故事在你脑子里是怎样形成的。也就是谈谈你的创作感受。这样的话,读者可能会更喜欢。 《旅途的伙伴》的创作过程本来就是一个故事。在我的诗集里,当然,我这本诗集是我最早出版的一本书。它的出版日期是在1829年冬天,准确一点是圣诞节前后,我第一个童话《妖魔》就收集在这本诗集当中。这个故事我从小就想讲给别人听,但一直没有讲好,差一点让别人把它忘记了。在前几年吧,我又把它在稿纸上复述了一遍,才稍感满意,于是改《妖魔》为《旅途的伙伴》。
