Local News by Gary Soto is a collection of 13 short stories about Mexican American kids living in California. The really cool thing about this book is that the stories are small snippets of the every-day lives of these kids. It was interesting to step into the shoes of kids who live completely different lives than me! The author also sprinkles in bits and pieces of Spanish words and phrases and includes a translation guide in the back. I liked this book a lot. The stories are all very short, so it was easy to read one or two at a time and come back to a brand new book!
