Read Harder 2019 Challenge Tasks #7 and #8

Happy April! This month we are highlighting books for Tasks #7 and #8. Both of these tasks are about #ownvoices books.  What is #ownvoices? It is a book that is written by a member of the marginalized community that it depicts.  In the book publishing community, an author from Central America, Mexico, or Oceania is marginalized because the book publishing world is very US/UK focused.  With this in mind, a book by an author from the previously mentioned countries would count even if they are a member of a majority of the population of that nation.  

Task #7: An #ownvoices Book set in Mexico or Central America.  Central America consists of Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.
