This month we delve into the enchanting world of "Witchlings" by Claribel A. Ortega, an instant New York Times Bestseller! Join us as we explore the extraordinary journey of twelve-year-old Seven Salazar, a young witch eager to find her place in the magical town of Ravenskill. However, on the night of the Black Moon Ceremony, Seven's dreams take an unexpected turn. Instead of being placed in a powerful coven with her best friend, she becomes a Spare—a witch looked down upon by society. Alongside two other Spares, Seven embarks on a mission to seal their coven, but failure would lead to a perilous fate: being turned into toads forever. Our episode shines a spotlight on the heartwarming theme of unlikely friendships as Seven learns to embrace and collaborate with her newfound companions. We explore how the author, Claribel A. Ortega, draws inspiration from her own Latinx heritage, infusing the story with rich cultural elements and girl-power vibes. Ortega's experience as a Latinx person greatly influenced her writing, creating a tale that resonates with readers who value representation and inclusivity. Moreover, "Witchlings" doesn't shy away from addressing real-world issues faced by immigrants in America, particularly in the face of white supremacy. Through the magic of storytelling, the book provides thought-provoking parallels that encourage empathy and understanding. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bookfaire/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bookfaire/support

In this episode, we're celebrating Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month with three favorite Scholastic authors. First, Carmen Agra Deedy talks about her extraordinary new picture book, The Children's Moon. Illustrated by Jim LaMarche, the book is available in both English and Spanish editions. Carmen is a master storyteller who was born in Havana, Cuba, and grew up in Decatur, Georgia. Her acclaimed picture books include Martina the Beautiful Cockroach: A Cuban Folktale, Rita & Ralph's Rotten Day, and The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet. Next, author and actress Sonia Manzano, known to generations of kids as the beloved Maria on Sesame Street, discusses Coming Up Cuban, her lyrical new novel for middle graders. Sonia, who has won 15 Emmy Awards, is also the author of Becoming Maria: Love and Chaos in the South Bronx and The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano, which won the Pura Belpre Award in 2013. Sonia's animated series for PBS Kids, Alma's Way, was recently renewed for a second season. Inspired by her own childhood, it features a 6-year-old New Yorker of Puerto Rican heritage. Last but not least, Claribel A. Ortega introduces Witchlings, her highly-anticipated novel for middle-graders. The imaginative story follows a group of aspiring witches who learn that the magic in their lives is found not so much in the spells they cast but in the friendships they make. A former newspaper reporter of Dominican heritage, Claribel is also the author of Ghost Squad, a New York Times bestseller.
