A powerful collection of short stories telling the tales of a Mexican American childhood ideal for fans of Gary Soto.

Welcome to Southern Texas.

Meet Loco, a dog with a passion for firecrackers, and Pedro, an altar boy forced to lean a hard lesson from two of the toughest, oldest men ever to serve the Lord. Jordan and Todd are two boys from California who don't know what they're in for when they push their Texas cousins a little too far.

Loosely based on the author's own childhood as a Mexican American boy in South Texas, this story collection is a moving whirlwind of humor and insight - brash, tender, and full of the unexpected.
