Translated by Dolores M. Koch.
In some Latino cultures, girls celebrate their fifteenth birthday with a ritual ceremony called la quincea±era. King accompanies a Mexican-American girl and a Salvadoran-American girl through their preparations for this rite of passage. The color photos of the bride-like dress, cake, and honor court are complemented by historical information. The Spanish text could use some editing. Also available in English.
