Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Dust Jacket. Ex-school library with typical marks; moderate wear to the illustrated binding. The pages are yellowed; a couple stained; a good reading copy still. Jacket clipping inside the front cover says "Maria Gomez is fourteen years old and lives in the slum section of New York City called Spanish Harlem. Her mother calls her Trouble because Maria hates most of the things that make up her life. She hates her bad tempered stepfather and she hates seeing her mother work slavishly scrubbing floors in other people's houses but most of all she hates the feeling she has that she is in a trap and will never be free. By leaving her family to become a gang member, Maria does become free of many of the worries she had when she was home but she gains troubles and worries as well. How Maria comes to see that there is more in life, even for her, than being a member of a gang, how she begins to find her way toward a happier future, and how she is reunited with her family, make for exciting, true to life reading."
