Product Description
These lively stories follow Rey Castaneda from sixth through eighth grade in Nuevo Penitas, Texas. One side of Rey's family lives nearby in Mexico, a few miles away; the other half lives in Texas. Rey fits in on both sides of the border. As Rey begins to cross the border from childhood toward manhood, he turns from jokes and games to sense the meaning of work, love, poverty, and grief, and what it means to be a proud Chicano.Product Videos
