Eleven vignettes set in central California feature young Mexican-Americans going about the business of growing up. Fausto, who longs for a guitar, fraudulently receives a hefty reward when he returns a stray pet to a wealthy neighbor, but he is… guilt-ridden until he relinquishes the money in church. And Marie, who declines a boring family vacation, is angry that fun was had without her. For grades 5-8 and older readers
