Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 352 pages. Ex-library. Cover worn.A stellar collection from N ewbery medalists and bestselling authors written to benefit Darfu ri refugees With contributions from some of the best talent writ ing for children today, What You Wish For is a compelling collect ion of affecting, inspiring, creepy, and oft-times funny short st ories and poems all linked by the universal power of a wish - the abstract things we all wish for - home, family, safety and love. From the exchange of letters between two girls who have never m et but are both struggling with the unexpected curves of life, to the stunning sacrifice one dying girl makes for another, to the mermaid who trades her tail for legs, to the boy who unwittingly steals an imp's house, and to the chilling retelling of Cinderell a, What You Wish For brings together a potent international roste r of authors of note to remember and celebrate the Darfuri refuge es and their incredible story of survival and hope. Editorial Re views About the Author Francisco Xavier Arguelles was born in 19 53 in Monterrey, Mexico. Ruth Arguelles, his mother, was a single mother from a middle class family in Tampico (a city on the Gulf of Mexico). The reason that Francisco was born in Monterrey rath er than in Tampico, where Ruth lived, is that her father did not want anyone to know that she was going to have a child out of wed lock. She was sent to Monterrey to live in a convent until the ba by was born. The baby was supposed to be given up for adoption, b ut Ruth changed her mind. After a while, Grandfather Adalberto re lented and mother and baby Francisco were allowed to come home. Six years later Ruth married Charles Stork, a retired man more tw enty years her senior. Charles Stork adopted Francisco and gave h im his name. Charlie was a kind but strict Dutch man who quickly went about instilling needed discipline in his new son. For his s eventh birthday, Charlie gave Francisco a portable typewriter bec ause Francisco announced that he wanted to be a writer. After wan dering about Mexico for a few years trying to live on a Social Se curity pension, Charlie decided to bring the family to the United States where he hoped they would fare better. The three of them came to El Paso, Texas when Francisco was nine. Charlie, an Amer ican citizen was able to obtain the necessary visas for Ruth and Francisco. Francisco was sent to grammar school where he learned English on the go. Unfortunately, no one was willing to give the sixty-five-year-old Charlie a job and so it became even harder fo r the family to survive in the United States. They lived in a var iety of apartments and trailer houses staying in each for as long as possible before getting evicted. When Francisco was thirteen , Charlie Stork died in an automobile accident. Ruth decided to s tay in the United States. She and the boy obtained an apartment i n one of the public housing projects of El Paso. Francisco was aw arded a scholarship to the local Jesuit High School and soon rose to the top of his class. During his senior year, he received an Honor's Scholarship (full tuition and living expenses) to attend Spring Hill College, a small Jesuit College in Mobile Alabama. A t Spring Hill College, Francisco majored in English Literature an d Philosophy and received the college's creative writing award. A fter college, a Danforth Fellowship (awarded to 40 college senior s out of approximately 5,000 applicants) allowed him to attend gr aduate school at Harvard University. At Harvard he studied Latin American Literature with people like Octavio Paz, the Mexican Nob el Laureate. However, the emphasis on scholarly research and writ ing seemed too remote and irrelevant to all that was important. S o, after four years of Harvard, Francisco went to Columbia Law Sc hool. His plan was to make a living as a lawyer without abandonin g his plan to write fiction. Twenty years and twelve or so legal jobs later, Francisco published his first novel. Fra.
