(3) YA Jiménez (The Circuit, Breaking Through) continues the fictionalized story of his maturation, here describing his character's college years in the early 1960s. The writing is precise and evocative, with the author's affection for family and friends being especially palpable. A quietly compelling book for older teens and an important contribution to the body of works addressing the immigrant experience.
