Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
For Manuel Hernandez, the year leading up to his test of courage, his initiation into a gang, is a time filled with the pain and tension, awkwardness and excitement of growing up in a mixed-up, crazy world. Manny wants to find out what it means to be a vato firme, a guy to respect, in this powerful novel of a young Mexican-American boy's coming-of-age experiences.
Review:
"Reading this book is so intimately revelatory it's like moving into someone's house. Martinez' deceptively straightforward prose is rich with poetic turns of phrase, and his ability to communicate the environment and dynamics of this family--their struggles with poverty, racism, and violence--make his writing startlingly visceral."
Janice M. Del Negro, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, December 1996
Review:"The book's greatest success lies in Martinez's ability to immerse readers immediately and effortlessly in the world of the narrator."
Jim Naughton, Washington Post Book World, 01/12/1997
