This is a short story collection that deals with themes and issues prominent in school age children. It's well written, but hard to get into because the characters keep changing.

This collection of short stories had a few okay ones (Broken Chain,Seventh Grade, Mother and Daughter), but some were just plain boring narratives in which little happens and when the stories end, you wonder if you're missing a page or something. What? That's IT? you ask. For reals, that's it. Sometimes, though, he really does capture a middle school moment so well.

This is a book of short stories about Latino youth. These stories are enjoyable and entertaining. Boys will especially enjoy these stories. It is an easy collection to read and has a glossary of Spanish words, phrases, and expressions used in the book to make them easy to understand by non-Spanish speakers. This is a wonderful introduction to Soto's writing.
