@_natalielloyd What a cutie!

[Maria Barbo @MariaSBarbo]

!!!! This hilarious series from @joeballarini that I edited is going to be on NETFLIX with Joe doing the screenwriting! Excited to see them bring these characters to life on their platform.

@jennyhan When are you going. Madrid and the south will be VERY hot and dry in the summer months. If you go in July, August, or September, I recommend Basque Country. The weather is a lot like Oregon and the landscape a lot like Ireland. Coast, green rolling hills, beautiful small cities

[Maria Barbo @MariaSBarbo]

Or Ronda, which is a little smaller, but very beautiful

[Joseph Sternberg @jsternbergesq]

@jennyhan Granada! Perfect sized city and very close to both the ocean and the mountains. Take Washington Irving's word for it: "a most picturesque and beautiful city, situated in one of the loveliest landscapes that I have ever seen."

[Maria Barbo @MariaSBarbo]

Salamanca is a university town so a great place to be studious but not feel isolated.

[Maria Barbo @MariaSBarbo]

Accurate. Salamanca is a university town and thus a great place for a retreat. Toledo. Segovia. Cercedilla is in the mountains and also has hiking. Of course, I would recommend coastal towns up north in basque country--or San Sebastian.

[Maria Barbo @MariaSBarbo]

Why not?

Worth every star! A book and a character near and dear to my heart.

THE PROBLIM CHILDREN: CARNIVAL CATASTROPHE (Book 2) got a starred review from Kirkus, which kinda feels like a Halley's Comet-esc occurrence for me (haha). I'm very grateful this reviewer saw Mona's heart, and had fun with my wacky seven. ❤️ https://t.co/jylMA7EJgX

@Scholastic @_natalielloyd Love this quote! As usual, you have just the right words to describe big feelings.

[Maria Barbo @MariaSBarbo]

@_natalielloyd I DID eat extra tacos for you, Natalie Lloyd. And they were AMAZING!

[Maria Barbo @MariaSBarbo]
