| | 1. |  | Dark Dude
from Atheneum
Price: $11.55
Customer Review:
I didn't realize this book was teen-targeted when I selected it from the Vine offerings. I don't know much about teens so it's hard for me to assess how they would respond to Dark Dude's gritty reality.
The story is told through the eyes of Rico, an intelligent young man who's out of place in... more info

I purchased this book for a very special reason. Eighth graders in our local school district are studying latino literature. In addition to novels, plays and short stories, they are reading poetry.

| | 4. |  | Mr. Ives' Christmas
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I like stories of compassion, loss, and acceptance as much as anyone, but Mr. Ives' Christmas is definitely not a book that goes deeply into these issues. There are some interesting conceits in the main character--just who is Mr. Ives: an orphan whose heritage seems to consist of threads from many... more info

from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.90
Customer Review:
This book is one of my very favorites. I have read many books in my life and this is one that will take you away. Oscar Hijuelos writes with passion, he writes like he really understands women. I was very lucky to have found an autographed copy of this book. I consider it a treasured possession.

I really enjoyed the way this author painted a picture of a society girl from the good old days in Cuba who ends up in New York as a cleaning lady. I loved the way she was always such a lady and was always soo concerned with what the neighbors were going to say and that the most important thing was... more info

This collection of different stories introduces us to different cultures through new words in italics like santeria.
'Nellie' by Roberto G fernandez has many bouts of good imagination. With his... more info
