(1) YA Stork (Marcelo in the Real World) offers another story with complex characters, rich and powerful themes, and a vivid setting. Tough-guy Pancho Sanchez, a ward of the state of New Mexico, is placed in an orphanage where he meets and befriends D.Q., a strange boy with terminal cancer. This novel of lonely quests and unlikely friendship will resonate with readers long after book's end.
