Local News: Stories Paperback - 2003
by Gary Soto
This companion to "Baseball in April" contains 13 witty and energetic stories in which the author illuminates the ordinary lives of young people--all of whom have problems as big as only a preteen can make them.
Summary
In thirteen stories full of wit and energy, Gary Soto illuminates the ordinary lives of young people. Meet Angel, who would rather fork over twenty bucks than have photos of his naked body plastered all over school; Philip, who discovers he has a "mechanical mind," whatever that means; Estela, known as Stinger, who rules José's heart and the racquetball court; and many other kids, all of them with problems as big as only a preteen can make them.
Funny, touching, and wholly original, Local News is Gary Soto in top form.

First line
LIKE MOST OF HIS FRIENDS at school, Angel had an older, mean brother who pushed him around and played dirty tricks on him.
