Summary: Rich
Comment: It's been a long time since I've been in seventh grade, and I've never lived in the barrio, but I was with Trino all the way as he struggled with the colliding forces in his world--his empty stomach, his mother's dead end job, his dead father and "pest" little brothers who want more than he can give them, friends who want to fit in places that he's trying to escape and a beautiful young girl who loves poetry. Like THE COLOR OF WORDS, this book illustrates all the richness of life in a family of color and the power of writing, specifically poetry here, to help a person realease his words into choices. As a mother, a writer, a poet and former seventh grader I salute Ms. Bertrand and look forward to more work from her.

Summary: The Switch...
Comment: Trino Olivares is a latino boy who has decisions to make... Should he be one of the tough guys in the neighborhood like Rosca or should he be one of the "School Types" like the pretty Lisana? To complicate matters Trino is living with his mother and three brothers who are just barely scraping by. The coming of manhood and the decisions one makes is a very important theme in many stories. Diane Gonzales Bertrand does a good job of mixing this theme with elements of the Latino American heritage mixed in. For a rainy afternoon or evening read Trino's Choice is not a bad choice at all...
