Bodega Dreams by Ernesto Quiñonez
5.0
I grabbed this book off of my classroom bookshelf. I don't know how it got there, but it was and it had an intriguing title. Grabbed it for the plane ride to SF and enjoyed it immensely when I got home (spent too much time reading magazines!)
Story is of a young man and his life in Spanish Harlem. There is a drug lord, a best friend who is messed up in selling drugs, a Pentecostal wife, baby on the way, crazy sister-in-law....and a love affair. With a shock...this would be perfect for students. One day I'll read it with them.
