Sammy & Juliana in Hollywood

Michigan Reading Journal

Cinco Puntos Press is a very small press. This book does not have the distribution of small presses like Front Street Books, let alone the distribution of larger publishers. Please do yourself and your students a favor and search for this beautiful work of art. Bilingual students will be pleased to see many Spanish phrases whose meanings are never translated except by context. English-speaking readers will understand, perhaps, to a small degree what it feels like to be outside the spotlight, which is the point. Sammy & Juliana in Hollywood deserves top billing in our school libraries. Find it! Buy it!
