Hey! A Movie and my Book
The animated film, THE BOOK OF LIFE, comes out on October 17th. If you and your children (ages 12+) are interested in the topic of El Dia de los Muertos, The Day of the Dead, I wrote a book about this very subject.
SOME RIVERS END ON THE DAY OF THE DEAD was my first novel. In it, Marisol and her mother flee the drug wars of Mexico. Marisol finds herself in a new "war," a cultural war of Americans in an upper class LA suburb. She's the new girl, the Mexican.
She uses her optimism, love of family, and the help of her teachers to try to fit in. Her one wish is to return home to Tijuana to honor her father on El Dia de los Muertos. A funny, ironic coming of age tale from a feisty young lady.
