Welcome! My theme for the A-Z Blogging Challenge is middle-grade and young adult fiction. If you’re a writer and would like to have your book featured during the Challenge, drop me an email with your book blurb, cover, your bio and picture. I’ll slot in your book based on the letter of the day. Today, we're off to Puerto Rico to visit Juan Bobo, a Puerto Rican folk character.
What can you do with a boy who tries to do things right but only leaves disaster in his wake? Laugh--that's what! Readers everywhere will love to laugh at the hilarious antics of the ever-blundering Juan Bobo, Puerto Rico's most celebrated fold character.
In this rollicking Juan Bobo tale, our hero sets out to find work at the farm and the grocery. Although the tasks are simple and the directions couldn't be clearer, he always find a way to bungle things up as only a character whose name means "Simple John" could!
