Synopsis:
With real wit and heart, Gary Soto takes readers into the lives of young people in ten funny, heartbreaking tales.
Meet Carolina, who writes to Miss Manners for help not just with etiquette but with bigger messes in her life; Javier, who knows the stories his friend Veronica tells him are lies, but can't find a way to prove it—and many other kids, each caught up in the difficulties of figuring out what it means to be alive.
