Wanted: One amazing forever home for one amazing sixth grader.

When Gaby Ramirez Howard starts volunteering at the local animal shelter, she takes special pride in writing adoption advertisements. Her flyers help the cats and dogs there find their forever homes: places where they’ll be loved and cared for, no matter what. Gaby is in need of a forever home herself. Her mother has recently been deported to Honduras and Gaby doesn’t know where to turn. Meanwhile, Gaby’s favorite shelter cat, Feather, needs a new place to live. Gaby would love to adopt her– but if Gaby doesn’t have a place that feels like home to her, how can she help Feather?

Thank you to everyone for the love and support of Thank you to everyone for the love and support of my latest novel The Cursed Moon and its book birthday yesterday. Putting a new story  out into the universe is always a stressful time for me because I want everyone to love the novel as much as I do, but for people to find and love my book means that I have to tweet, shout, sing, pose and put myself out there. Even still today, that’s  tough for a shy girl like me who prefers to hide behind a notebook and write. So here I am—book #8—hoping what shine I have is enough. 📖 ❤️ #thecursedmoon #readbrave 👻 #inkandwindmills #authorsofinstagram #kidlit #readlatinx #representationmatters #latinapower 📖 🌺 🔥
