We really enjoyed this story about Jesse because it showed the struggles he went through to try to make himself have a better life. We think that this shows that if anyone tries hard enough they can make a change in their own lives just like Jesse was trying to do. We admire Jesse by how he had the courage to move out of his home without the help of his family.
We also enjoyed reading the book and being able to understand the Spanish words within the text including abuela (grandmother), arroz (rice), feo (ugly), ¿entiendes? (do you understand?), etc. We liked how Gary Soto included Spanish words to add to the feeling of the Spanish culture. It really helped us feel connected to the characters in the book.
