5.0 out of 5 stars Brings back memories, August 24, 2005
This book captures the essence of what it means to be an Hispanic from New Mexico, and the thrills and terrors of any family in moving to a new town, a new school making new friends and growing up It brings to life the sights and sounds of San Jose, and the people who live there. As I read the book, I revisited the park, the church, the streets, the people and the wonderful Berryessa Flea Market, which was still the same in 1985 as it was when Ben first visited it in the 1960's, and probably is still the same today. I highly recommend this book older teens and adults, but recommend parents read it to their younger children due to the chapter "Pinching Pennies", which is a chapter I do not recommend for children.
