註釋In these spunky stories, popular young adult and childrenÍs author Diane Gonzales Bertrand creates a raucous collection of rowdy fun in a bilingual format for intermediate readers. Ten-year-olds Miguel and ngel get so excited about the familyÍs new truck that they take it for a spin. Luis rebels when his antiquated TÕa Anita wants him to give his friend Diana a hairy pink thing and a box of powder that smells like cat litter. Norma dresses up like Queen Isabella and steals the spotlight from the class clowns. AlonsoÍs day sours when he lies to claim a blue-ribbon prize in the science fair. These short stories bubble with fresh and feisty young characters, and their adventures carry all the struggles of childhood. The funny, uplifting collection celebrates strong relationships with friends, parents, teachers, or extended family. Set in the schoolyard, at the beach, or on a driveway in front of the familyÍs house, these stories make even the ordinary problems of childhood extraordinary.
