My students (I'm an ELD teacher) LOVED Trino's Choice (1999)and Trino's Time (2002) by Diane Gonzales Bertrand<br /><br />I'm looking for a book with Latino characters during the American Civil War and Colonial America. Anybody have a suggestion? Or any other historical fiction with latinos.<br />holly.campbell@district6.org Holly Campbellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-17807421775480274282012-08-13T10:44:34.563-05:002012-08-13T10:44:34.563-05:00As a school librarian with a diverse population, I...As a school librarian with a diverse population, I am always on the lookout for books with characters our students can relate to. Thank you Laurie Halse Anderson for mentioning your site in her recent blog post. Just a couple of searching tips: How to Salsa in a Sari by Dona Sarkur is actually spelled SarkAr (not ur), and Paula Chase Hyman sometimes is just Paula Chase.

Intended for a middle-school audience, these are the ONLY YA books I have ever seen with Blatina characters. "Marisol & Magdalena" was published in 1998 so it doesn't technically qualify for your list, but its sequel, "Quinceanera Means Sweet Fifteen," was published in 2001:<br /><br />http://www.veronicachambers.com/marisol.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-15776660365426968572011-01-21T09:44:54.773-06:002011-01-21T09:44:54.773-06:00OMG this is so awesome, I was just looking for mor...OMG this is so awesome, I was just looking for more books with Latino MCs!!! *adds a whole bunch to the ever-expanding to-read list* :DEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13922830118401456927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-41774103423112183312011-01-19T22:17:54.909-06:002011-01-19T22:17:54.909-06:00Thank you for creating this incredible list (and i...Thank you for creating this incredible list (and including LUMINOUS on it)!
