The Adventures of Chupacabra Charlie: Read Aloud and Chat

"The Adventures of Chupacabra Charlie" Author: Frederick Luis Aldama, Illustrator: Chris Escobar

The OSU College of Arts and Sciences will be hosting a reading and discussion of The Adventures of Chupacabra Charlie with the author, Frederick Luis Aldama, Distinguished University Professor, Department of English and Director, Latinx Space for Enrichment & Research.
"In Aldama’s book, Charlie, a chupacabra, is a vegetarian who doesn’t have fangs. He lives in an unnamed Mexican bordertown with his parents in a society where chupacabras are marginalized. All he wants is to make a friend and go on an adventure beyond “The Wall” separating his home from “el otro lado” ("the other side"), or an unnamed United States."

This program is a partnership of the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences Alumni Society.
