Jess Hernandez’s🦄 BOOK DROPS 1/1/21 @FinkHernandez

Thing I’d like to read: a gender flipped SANDLOT.

Basically, a group of girls working together to reach a silly, low-stakes goal. Where they can enjoy friendship & childhood without having to smash the patriarchy or worry about boys or body image. A book abt girlhood joy.

Not gonna lie, I've had this #mswl for a while. Doesn't have to be baseball, but the feel. The nostalgia of just kids being kids!

Friendship

#mswl I would love a graphic novel concept that's kids starting friendships through windows across the street or next door because of social isolating! Things one does to make the other happy and so on =]

#StrangerThings3 is legit the MG novel we all want. Kids breaking into shit? “Taking down commies, saving your friends”? Yes please.

#MSWL Love stories ala Gayle Forman or David Nicholls. All the feels, all the sobs, all the love. Love tropes like unrequited love, enemies/friends to lovers, or job passion romances, IF executed well.

#MSWL MG camping/wood stories ala King of Summer. Male POVs. Young male friendships! imdb.com/title/tt217911…
