The 2013 Big Read book is Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya. Set in a small New Mexican community during World War II, this novel relates the dignity, traditions and mythology of Chicano life through the eyes of 7-year old Antonio Márez, his family and Ultima, the old healer who comes to stay with them.
Bless Me, Ultima is really for teen and adult readers. So we've put together a list of books with similar themes for younger children as well as other books by Rudolfo Anaya. Enjoy!
