# Cuéntame! Let’s Talk Books with Christina Soontornvat

Meg Medina is joined by the multi-talented Christina Soontornvat: a journalist, a fantasy author and… an engineer? The two talk about how Chrstina’s background in STEM and upbringing as a Thai American raised in Texas inform her writing and imagination. Christina Soontornvat is the award-winning author of more than 20 books for children of all ages, including the graphic novel “The Tryout” and the critically acclaimed “All Thirteen,” a nonfiction account of the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue.
