Reviews

(Puppy Love) ""Jordan is a protagonist worth rooting for; through his compassionate and earnest POV, Soto spins each seemingly disparate narrative into a cohesive and lightly socially conscious read."" -- Publishers Weekly (Facts of Life) ""[Soto's] greatest gift to readers may be the attention he focuses on meaningful lives, experiences, and occasional injustices that might otherwise go unobserved."" -- Booklist (Accidental Love) ""With humor and insight, [Soto] creates memorable, likable characters."" -- Booklist (Have Mercy on These Teenage Chimps) ""[A] lighthearted, off-beat slice of life . . . Breezy and entertaining."" -- Kirkus Reviews

""Two California seventh graders become famous for performing ""non-music silence"" in this madcap wish-fulfillment novel by Soto (Puppy Love)."" - Publishers Weekly ""Action and humor are packed into every page. . . . Lively, entertaining illustrations showcase the racially diverse cast. An imaginative, madcap escape."" - Kirkus Reviews
