 Hello readers of San Francisco Public Library. My name is Candy Goorley and I am one of the authors featured in the Filipino American International Book Festival. I live in the United Kingdom where my book was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and the Costa Prize and here it is, Bone Talk. It is 100 years ago and some cut is 10 years old. All he wants is to become a man like his dad with his own shield and spear and axe. His best friend, Lukey, wants the same thing except Lukey is a girl and in their village girls don't grow up to become warriors and then another boy turns up and he has news there are strangers on their way up the mountain the strangers are called Americans and they are bringing war and death. Bone Talk is set in a bit of forgotten history but it's also a ripping adventure. You can check it out at the San Francisco Public Library or order it from your local Indie Bookshop. There's more info on my website. Scan the code. Happy reading.
