In this unique collection of short stories, the

up, success and failure. Calling on his own
experiences of growing up in California’s
Central Valley, poet Gary Soto brings to
life the joys and pains of young people
everywhere. The smart, tough, vulnerable
kids in these stories are Latino, but their
dreams and desires belong to all of us.

passions much like his own—for baseball,
family traditions, and new friendships.
