The Tequila Worm by Viola Canales
An odd title for a sweet book. Set in McAllen, Texas, Sofia struggles with wanting more out of life, and accepting the traditions of her life now. Sofia is not like most girls in her barrio. She's not interested in having a quincenara, but has dreams of going to a good college. Her parents and other relatives try to show her that the life she has is every bit as fine as her dreams. It takes a while, but she finally sees that they were right. Reading the journey it took for her to reach this conclusion is heartwarming.
