the California Center for the Book
For 7th–12th Grade Students
Pam Muñoz Ryan, whose many books for young adults and children include Esperanza Rising and Becoming Naomi Leon, has a new YA novel, The Dreamer, to be released in Spring 2010, In the book, "Neftali finds beauty and wonder everywhere: in the oily colors of mud puddles; a lost glove, sailing on the wind; the music of birds and language. He loves to collect treasures, daydream, and write—pastimes his authoritarian father thinks are for fools. Against all odds, Neftali prevails against his father's cruelty and his own crippling shyness to become one of the most widely read poets in the world, Pablo Neruda. This moving story about the birth of an artist is also a celebration of childhood, imagination, and the strength of the creative spirit."
