Really liked @adriannacuevas.bsky.social THE NO-BRAINER'S GUIDE TO DECOMPOSITION. With pun fully intended, you will never be able to get Frani's brain spider Aranita out of your head - along with the rest of her. An extremely fun zombie novel, aimed mostly at kids, but enjoyed a ton by this adult!

Just finished this delightful novel, What Fell from the Sky by @adriannacuevas.bsky.social! Fascinating history about a military exercise in the 1950s, and of course fun speculation about a lost little alien and her family. Highly recommend! #kidlit #writingcommunity #bookreview

Thank you for reading!

April reads! I traveled every weekend in April for book promo so that means lots of audiobooks. #readingroundup #aprilreads

I don’t understand why HarperCollins refused to join other major publishers and sign the letter to Congress in support of IMLS.

So, I wrote a letter to HarperCollins.

Libraries and librarians need our support. Authors and industry professionals, please sign this letter using this form. 👇 🙏 📚

Page from Booklist magazine featuring What Fell From The Sky as a kids’ novel that deserves to be a movie.

I agree, Booklist!

I really liked your book. I want to be an author too. So I would like you to give me some tips if you can. Your book was so intriguing and very nicely written. Just there is two things I would like to give feedback on. One, every single chapter was a cliffhanger. Two it would have been nice if the dad came back at the end as a surprise for Nestor.

I’m struggling through edits of my latest manuscript so when I still get fan mail about my debut… it makes my day. #kidlit #mglit

Thanks for the rec!

Library holds have range this week. 🤣 #library #books

I'm late to the party with this (as usual), but the finalists for the Stoker's middle grade category are one gorgeous group. Especially thrilled for my Spooky Middle Grade friends @adriannacuevas.bsky.social and @maryaverling.bsky.social. 🖤🖤

Audiofile magazine review of What Fell From the Sky: Giordan Diaz gives a winning performance as Pineda, communicating his humor and kindness and switching between English and Spanish. As Pineda and his friends try to reunite Luisa with her parents, the mix of voices for other characters who chime in during the story’s climax reinforce the message of the power of community. Warm, funny, and timely.

I absolutely love how the audiobook for What Fell From the Sky came together and am thankful that Audiofile magazine loved it too! Giordan Diaz does an incredible job as Pineda. Happy listening and reading! #auidiobook #mglit #kidlit

Happy reading! #readingwrapup

Book announcement reading “Trisha de Guzman at FSG has bought world rights to Pura Belpré Honoree and Edgar Award winner Adrianna Cuevas's next middle grade novel, tentatively titled Cryptid Keepers, first in a two-book deal about a Cuban American boy who learns that his mother's boring job as a wildlife biologist is actually a cover for protecting creatures of legend like Hogzilla, and must work with her to uncover a new threat who arrives in their Texan town. Publication is slated for fall 2026; Stefanie Sanchez Von Borstel at Full Circle Literary brokered the deal.”

So… y’all ready for some more chaos? Get ready to meet Jordi as he fights to protect Texas cryptids living in his town.
I’m grateful to Trisha de Guzman and Stefanie Sanchez Von Borstel for being with me every step of the way. Thank you to everyone for supporting me and my books! #kidlit #mglit
