We are thrilled to welcome back author Frederick Luis Aldama in celebration of two new books, Through Fences and The Absolutely (Almost) True Adventures Of Max Rodriguez.
Through Fences (ages 12+) follows the ups and downs of Latino kids and young adults in the US–Mexico borderlands: San Ysidro, Calexico, McAllen, and back and forth across the border.
In The Absolutely (Almost) True Adventures Of Max Rodriguez (ages 13+), Max (n e Maxine) could read before they could talk, devouring comics, novels, and books on philosophy. This helps them later to navigate the topsy-turvy life as a 9th grader in Nowheresville, California.
Frederick Luis Aldama is an award-winning author and editor of dozens of works of fiction, comics, animation shorts, and scholarly books, including Tales from La Vida, The Adventures of Chupacabra Charlie, and Con Papá / With Papá. The founder and director of the Latinx Pop Lab, he holds the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin.
