From the Inside Flap:
Named to the Texas Lone Star Reading List, named "Best Book of the Year" by ForeWord magazine in the Young Adult category, recipient of the Austin Writers’ League Teddy Award for Best Children’s Book, and named Best Young Adult Fiction by the Latino Literary Hall of Fame
About the Author:
"A dramatic and realistic contemporary novel . . . about a Latino boy struggling to grow into manhood and somehow make the right choices in the absence of adult guidance." —Booklist
"Realistic characters and settings meld in a story that is meaningful without being didactic...With the scarcity of young adult fiction with Latino characters, thirteen-year-old Trino is a welcome addition in a book that deserves a sequel." —VOYA
"This is an excellent novel for middle-grade and junior high students...Gonzales Bertrand offers a starkly realistic view of many working-class Mexican Americans, presenting poverty, trailer parks, gangs, single mothers, video games, and missed opportunities." —MultiCultural Review
