About the Author
Gary Soto, author of books for children, young adults, and adults, lives in Berkeley, California. His best-selling fiction includes Baseball in April and Buried Onions.
From Publishers Weekly
In this winning combination of a thriller and a comedy, Hector and his "carnal" (Spanish for blood brother), Mando, two realistically represented teens from East L.A., are first excited and then scared when they and Hector's Uncle Julio become the only witnesses to a robbery. Soto ( Baseball in April and Other Stories ; Pacific Crossing ) comically contrasts the adolescent wit and energy of these teens (when the two go with Julio on a dinner date, Hector notices that "All evening Julio had complimented Vicky with such comments as . . . 'I like the buttons on your dress,' and 'You're a tidy woman'--small talk that made Hector wonder how his uncle ever got girlfriends") with the slowness and spaciness of the robbers (as they look around for a car to steal, Huey "Crybaby" Walker suggests, "Let's get another American car," to which Freddie Bork responds, "Yeah, I like what GM's doing"). The boys' language is a lively and often musical mixture of English and Spanish, and a glossary provides readers with translations of words that may be unfamiliar. An entertaining novel, especially for contemporaries of these hip, likable protagonists. Ages 8-12.
