Review:

"Soto has remade Our Town into Fresno, California, and he not only paints the scenery brilliantly but also captures the pain that follows an early death . . . . [It] will stay in memory." --"Booklist" (starred review)
"Soto writes with a touch as light as Chuy's ghost and with humor, wonderment, and generosity toward life." --Kirkus Reviews "Sweet and sarcastically funny." --YM
