The Lord of Opium by Nancy Farmer
Oh.My.Word. Have you read House of the Scorpion?? I handsell that as often as
possible. I recently bought the ones with the new cover. And now there is going to be a sequel. That title alone has the power to make me happy. But, I won't settle for anything less than the book itself.
I've already read Eleanor & Park twice. The second time I listened to the audiobook, which I recommend you hear soon! I also read Rowell's post on Why Park is Korean. Touching.
