Description: Local News: Stories - By Soto, Gary - Paperback, Ages 8 to 12, for Kids, English PRODUCT FEATURES In thirteen stories full of wit and energy, Gary Soto illuminates the ordinary lives of young people. Meet Angel, who would rather fork over twenty bucks than have photos of his naked body plastered all over school; Philip, who discovers he has a "mechanical mind," whatever that means; Estela, known as Stinger, who rules José's heart and the racquetball court; and many other kids, all of them with problems as big as only a preteen can make them. Review: "Another first-rate collection from a perceptive and sensitive chronicler of ordinary life."--The Horn Book (starred review) "As always, Soto shows that the concerns and triumphs of Latino children are no different from anyone's, and . . . their misadventures are treated with a light touch."--Kirkus Reviews "The stories show the humor of growing up as well as the anguish."--BooklistGrade level: 3-7Reading age: 8 - 12 years
