The Dreamer by Pam Munoz Ryan

This is a charming example of creative nonfiction--the story of a young Pablo Neruda and the influences that shaped him into the political poet that still influences his readers today.  The author takes a couple of stories told by Neruda himself, then creates this masterpiece of fiction to help us get a feel for the poet's background and passionate support of the Natives of his homeland, as well as the oppressed everywhere.
