About the Creator(s)

The author/filmmaker deemed rockstar by the kids they meet won the prestigious Delacorte Dell Yearling Award and Parents Choice Silver Honor for Prizefighter En Mi Casa. Feels Like Home received critical praise, but it was Fat Angie that generated the New York Times best-selling author buzz from Gregory Maguire and Ellen Hopkins. Nominated for Best Fiction for Young Adults and the Rainbow List by YALSA, Fat Angie garnered starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and School Library Journal and went on to win the 2014 American Library Association Stonewall Book Award. Traveling throughout America on an unconventional book tour, Charlton-Trujillo workshopped with at-risk youth in their communities at no cost to the programs. They created a feature documentary of the experience titled At-Risk Summer.
