Visceral and tough, poetic and beautiful yet oh-so-dark. It allowed me to believe I was seeing through Fernando’s eyes, and let me feel privy to his thoughts. Some readers have complained about the amount of Spanish or “Spanglish” mixed into the text, but I found this helped create a sense of atmosphere, of partial foreignness or at least separateness from the dominant American culture more familiar to many of us.

But the penalties for violating them are so uncompromising - job loss or third-degree felony conviction - that fear of consequences has compelled a wide range of reactions from school boards, school administrators and teachers statewide.
