When two gun-toting hoodlums tell the fourteen-year-old narrator of René Saldaña's story, The Right Size, to kiss the floor, he doesn't think twice. And his dad and younger brother drop to the floor just as quickly. "This guy Jimmy probably thinks Dad is the greatest threat among the three of us, but he's dead wrong. Dad couldn't hurt a bug, the boy thinks. In the ensuing twenty minutes, he learns that his dad isn't as weak as he thought, and in fact, his dad is willing to do whatever it takes to protect his family, even if it means killing someone.The teens featured in these stories deal with situations typical to all young adults, including attraction to the opposite sex—or to the same sex, in one story—and first sexual encounters, problems with family and friends, academic and personal aspirations.But they also deal with every kind of thrilling situation imaginable, from missing girls to kidnappings and dismembered bodies. A young girl finds herself living with her "family," though she has no memory of them or who they claim she is. A geek at a prestigious public high school finds himself working with his very attractive arch-rival to solve the mystery of a severed, bloody arm that appears inexplicably in his locker. And Mike's life sucks when his parents split up, but it gets worse when his best friend is abducted by a thug shot by Mike's dad, a police officer. There's something for everyone here, with aliens, ghosts and even an Aztec god making appearances in these stories.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. Published authors such as Mario Acevedo, Alicia Gaspar de Alba, Diana López and Sergio Troncoso appear alongside less well-known authors who deserve more recognition. 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.
Autoren-Porträt
The debut collection of poetry by Sarah Cortez, How to Undress a Cop (Arte Público Press, 2000) brings the world of street policing to the reader in a way that poet-reviewer Ed Hirsch describes as "nervy, quick-hitting, street-smart, sexual." Winner of the 1999 PEN Texas Literary award in poetry and other juried designations, Ms. Cortez is much in demand as a creative writing teacher and visiting poet. She was awarded two consecutive one-year appointments as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Houston's Center for Mexican American Studies. One of her poems was chosen for the nationwide Poetry In Motion program and many others have been anthologized. A fellow at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, she is the editor of Urban-Speak: Poetry of the City (2001), Windows into My World: Latino Youth Write Their Lives (Piñata Books, 2007), Hit List: The Best of Latino Mystery (Arte Público Press, 2009), and Indian Country Noir ( 2010). She is the co-editor of Our Lost Border: Essays on Life amid the Narco-Violence (2013). Her collection for young people, You Don't Have a Clue: Latino Mystery Stories for Teens, was published by Arte Público Press in 2011.
