Review: Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero @5puntosbooks

So today we're proud to announce to be a part of a blog tour for the 2015 Morris YA debut author award. There were so many awesome finalists but this one really appealed to us because it fits under our "diverse" protagonist requirement. Not only is the main protagonist Latina(Mexican American), she's also overweight. Intersectionality isn't always something I see a lot in books, so when I learn that a protagonist is hmm...let's say gay and black, or latino and disabled, I rush to learn more about the book as intersectionality is so important to us!

Review: The Scar Boys By Len Vlahos

We were asked to read this lovely book by none other than Jessica Powers, one of the masterminds working for Cinco Puntos Press. 

There are 5 great finalists up for the William C. Morris Debut Award, and we were lucky enough to be asked to read two of them, and this was one of them!
