The teens featured in these stories—edited by Sarah Cortez—deal with situations typical to all young adults. But they also deal with every kind of thrilling situation imaginable, from kidnappings to dismembered bodies.
Set in schools and communities from New York City to Venice Beach, California, the protagonists reflect the breadth and diversity of the Latino authors included in this innovative collection. With an introduction by young adult literature expert Dr. James Blasingame of Arizona State University, this collection is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats until the last page is turned.
"This excellent collection—enriched by a thoughtful foreward by YA scholar James Blasingame—gives faces to Latino teens in a most original way."
