Oh yes, and to clarify: yes, they are looking for books in Spanish!

Hi Kristen! The request is coming to me secondhand, so I'm not positive, but I'm guessing any Latin American author would be good. Thank you!

?Does he want only Mexican authors, or is any original Spanish language author good? (I have a few Spanish suggestions, too)

Hi all!

A friend of our family, in Oaxaca, is looking for books for his 11-year-old daughter. Evidently she has never liked to read, but somehow got her hands on Harry Potter and read right through it. He's eager to capitalize on her interest and looking for suggestions of age-appropriate, Mexican-authored books that might also appeal to a girl who liked Harry Potter. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with popular kids' fiction in Mexico, although I can suggest some things he'd be likely to find in translation. He's planning to buy off Amazon. Any top favorite suggestions I can pass along?

Gracias in advance!

Deborah
