(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

The Dreamer
by
Ryan, Pam Munoz and Ryan, Pam Mu and Sis, Peter
Spicyreads
, February 22, 2010
This one is sure to win awards in January 2011! This is Ryan's best book to date (and she has many excellent titles). The Dreamer is part biography (Pablo Neruda), part poetry, part magical realism, and part fictionalized biography. Don't overlook the fact that the structure mimics Neruda's own poetry. Don't overlook the fact that the epigrammatic poems that foreshadow the action in each chapter also fit together to form one beautiful poem that can summarize the entire book. While the font size is bigger than high school students may think of as appropriate, the content in this book is challenging even for high school students. This book should be equally at home in middle schools and elementary schools. Buy this one! You will not be sorry.
