Daniel Chacón follows his critically praised debut collection of short stories, Chicano Chicanery, with this brilliant debut novel, destined to become a classic in Chicano-American literature. Joey Molina had never been in a fight. The very thought of violence upset him. He only wanted to be an actor, and so he read plays and learned new words with his mother. When he's cast in the lead role in the school play, he's eager to go home and tell his family about it, but his parents have an announcement of their own. In a climb up the socioeconomic ladder, the Molinas move from their Central California barrio to a small town in Oregon where they are one of only three Latino families. The kids in Joey's school assume that since he's a Chicano from California, he must know about gangs and street life. This is when Joey assumes the acting role of his young life. In order to win instant popularity, fear, and respect, he tells everyone that he was in a gang, that he was a member of vato loco, a tough street gang who fought with knifes and chains, and yes, sometimes guns ("Sometimes death was involved," he tells them). The kids listen to his stories with rapt attention. When they urge Joey to start a gang in their small Oregon town, he does, and his new friends become unwitting actors in the comedy of which he is the writer, the director, and the star. However, after years of posturing as a tough guy, he wonders, is he a gang leader, or is he still acting? In the gang fight battle royal, Joey Molina must face his most powerful rivals, his family, and himself. Daniel Chacón renders the heart and soul of his memorable characters with extraordinary insight, crafting a profound story that resonates with emotional intensity.

2020 PRISM Award Winner! Year 2522. Lyra Daniels is dead. Okay, so I only died for sixty-six seconds. But when I came back to life, I got a brand new name and a snazzy new uniform. Go me! Seriously, though, it's very important that Lyra Daniels stays dead, at least as far as the murdering looters, know. While dying is the scariest thing that's happened to me, it morphed my worming skills. I can manipulate the Q-net like never before. But the looters have blocked us from communicating with the rest of the galaxy and now they believe we've gone silent, like Planet Xinji (where silent really means dead). A Protector Class spaceship is coming to our rescue, but we still have to survive almost two years until they arrive - if they arrive at all. Until then, we have to figure out how to stop an unstoppable alien threat. And it's only a matter of time before the looters learn I'm not dead and returns to finish what they started. There's no way I'm going to let the looters win. Instead I'll do whatever it takes to save the people I love. But even I'm running out of ideas...

This is the hard hitting story of life in an inner city. Sean Allen reluctantly accepts a teaching position in an urban school, initiating the darkest period of his life. His preconceived perceptions of the neighborhood plunge to abysmal depths as he witnesses the chaos, intimidation, racism and corruption within the school system, and the city. Encouraged by a basketball buddy Sean begins home tutoring and meets Landi, the mother of a student, who repudiates his presence from the very beginning. The more Landi spurns him the more infatuated he becomes with her and the more he is torn between her and Brenda, a teacher he dates. Their lives become intimately entangled in the present and past and are punctuated with romance, love, hostility and betrayal. While his encounters with Landi and Brenda spin out of control, the community also spins out of control - a vicious mayoral election, the murder of an innocent youth, an accidental death, a precipitous battle between warring street gangs and a public outcry regarding his relationship with Landi and Brenda. Filled with tension, hostility and passion this novel exposes the corrupt state of affairs in the schools, the city, and the country, sometimes in a manner that is politically incorrect. Although fictitious, many parts of it are played out every day in school districts throughout the country and it is the author's intent to show that despite all the outward differences between races, there are more similarities than what first meets the eye.
