Joaquin's Realm

Jennie M. Bragaw

Joaquin Ortega, at thirteen years old, is a world maker. Although he lives in an ordinary house on an ordinary block in an ordinary town in an ordinary part of the country, Joaquin is not, in any sense, of the word ordinary. From his epic science experiments and archaeological explorations to his quantum leaps in time and space, you will be drawn into Joaquin's many worlds as he navigates both the difficulties associated with life and loss and the challenges of being a scientist and mischief maker. Filled with colorful imagery, the book's illustrations will pale in comparison to the imagery you create in your mind as you travel with Joaquin on his exciting journey. Young readers, both boys and girls, will relate to some of the issues Joaquin deals with throughout this book--fitting in, growing up, having a first crush, and relationships with family members.
