Description

The Mexican American creator Gary Soto draws on his own enjoy of growing up in California’s Central Valley on this finely crafted choice of eleven short stories that reveal big themes within the small events of day by day life. Crooked teeth, ponytailed girls, embarrassing grandfathers, imposter Barbies, annoying brothers, Little League tryouts, and karate lessons weave the colourful fabric of Soto’s world. The smart, tough, vulnerable kids in these stories are Latino, but their dreams and wishes belong to all of us. Word list of Spanish terms included.
