Malden Public Library to hold author event on Oct. 26

The Malden Public Library is thrilled to welcome local author Federico Erebia on Thursday, October 26, at 7 p.m., to discuss his debut novel “Pedro & Daniel.” It was one of this year’s most anticipated young adult novels.

Publishers Weekly describes it as “Luminous…a layered, thoroughly riveting telling… Erebia deftly weaves together the boys’ everyday joys with the seriousness of their situations, presenting a clear portrait of two brothers’ fierce love that is by turns uplifting and heart-wrenching.”

Kirkus Reviews wrote, “Pedro and Daniel’s journey, whether together or apart, is an unforgettable one of resilience and, most of all, love. Stunning.”

Booklist’s review called it, “A beautiful and raw story of two Mexican American boys trying to survive in a world where they only have each other to rely on… Readers will find themselves unable to put this book down. A powerful coming-of-age story, Erebia’s debut is a title that is unforgettable.”
