(2) YA Soto's collection introduces a cross section of contemporary Mexican-American kids dealing with family, friendship, and first love. The tales generally feature convincing characterizations and offer some memorable images. Though the stories are rooted in Latino culture (Spanish words and phrases are defined at book's end), young teen readers will find that the emotions on display are pretty much universal.
