pickVlad, by Carlos Fuentes (2010, transl. 2012)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Premise: The life of a middle-aged Mexican lawyer takes a turn for the horrific when he‘s asked to help an old friend of his boss relocate to Mexico City.
Review: This doesn‘t have great reviews, but I found this to be a very successful piece of contemporary Gothic fiction that played with traditional vampire lore in interesting ways.
pickIt‘s an incredibly interesting, well-researched , eye opening story of the journey of migrants . A beautifully heartbreaking/hopefully story, rich in characters who keep you on the edge of your seat .⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Highly recommended.

I would want to have dinner with Harper Lee and talk to her about being a female writer in a time where that wasn‘t something that women didn‘t really do.

panWhat did I just read? I think this is about hair-made balls, tennis (or a game similar?), sex, and the colonization of Mexico by Cortés. But honestly there was so much going on and switching of stories that (I think) were supposed to be interconnected. I would have DNF‘d but I was using this for multiple reading challenges and was also trying to keep an open mind.

pickI think the fact that it's format is a graphic novel makes such a deep story inviting to young adults because it is easy to read. Many kids think graphic novels and comic books are just superheroes, but there are more options available to them, and I think this is a good example to show.
pickI think it is important for every student to be educated on all cultures because it is useful in classrooms as well as life after and outside of school. I loved the story of being able to appreciate and respect both cultures. It definitely brought to mind how depending on the demographics, students bring merging cultures.
