An award-winning novel in verse about a boy who navigates the start of seventh grade and life growing up on the border the only way that feels right—through poetry. They call him Güero because of his red hair, pale skin, and freckles. Sometimes people only go off of what they see. Like the Mexican boxer Canelo Álvarez, twelve-year-old Güero is puro mexicano. He feels at home on both sides of the river, speaking Spanish or English. Güero is also a reader, gamer, and musician who runs with a squad of misfits called Los Bobbys. Together, they joke around and talk about their expanding world, which now includes girls. (Don’t cross Joanna—she's tough as nails.) Güero faces the start of seventh grade with heart and smarts, his family’s traditions, and his trusty accordion. And when life gets tough for this Mexican American border kid, he knows what to do: He writes poetry. Honoring multiple poetic traditions, They Call Me Güero is a classic in the making and the recipient of a Pura Belpré Honor, a Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award, a Claudia Lewis Award for Excellence in Poetry, and a Walter Dean Myers Honor.

With equal parts twisting and sharply written plotlines, believable characters, and explosive action, this book is one you won’t put down until its dramatic conclusion. Ian Devereux is an ordinary guy, a school teacher who moves to Mexico with his beautiful Mexican-born wife, Dinorah, and their daughter, Briana. Ian finds himself yearning for home after 18 years, but his wife’s refusal to leave her country and politically powerful family places him in the perplexing position to choose between country or family. When Ian finds solace from his dilemma and falls in love with a gorgeous Columbian psychiatrist, Daniela, he has no idea what path his life is going to take.

Daniela’s jealous, drug trafficker husband becomes the prime suspect in the murder of an enforcement officer, and Ian’s enlisted to help find out what happened. The DEA won’t take no for an answer and Ian is put into the unenviable position of informant. In the meantime, he’s caught up in a tumultuous, passionate love affair that he can’t bear to leave. When his lover persuades him to flee with her to the U.S. border, the two dodge criminals, participate in a drug smuggling operation, and set up a trap to sabotage it. Who killed the agent? Who is the greatest threat to Ian and who must he betray? Will he leave the life he’s always known to be with Daniela or return to his average life? This big, provocative novel creates a dizzyingly, heart-pounding page-turner. Thriller fans will want to settle in for the weekend, this one’s a winner with a killer ending.

For more than twenty years, Luis Valdez, the most distinguished Latino playwright and director, has reserved most of his scripts for live stage productions. His two landmark published collections, Early Works and Zoot Suit and Other Plays, are only a sampling of his early master works and of the later plays that made it to the stage in the 1980s. Now, Valdez has finally opened his trunk to release print editions of a revised early work and two brand new, major dramas. Mummified Deer is ValdezÍs mature exploration of the Yaqui Indian roots of Mexican American culture and ValdezÍs own family. Returning to the format of the tent show, Valdez mines maternal psychology and Yaqui mysticism to demand that characters scale the full gamut of emotions. In this gut-wrenching piece, Mama Chu is the dominant, imposing figure who must reconcile the present with the past and unify the conflicting histories and identities of her family. Mundo Mata is the long-awaited drama of unionizing farm workers battling the agribusiness power structure in California while Mexican Americans are being sent off to battle brown-skinned enemies in Vietnam. Valdez assesses the toll that families have to pay to remain united against divisive forces. It all comes down to Reymundo, the antihero, who in the end must weigh existential and political questions. The Shrunken Head of Pancho Villa, ValdezÍs re-worked first play, still holds all the vision, spunk, and innovation of the young playwright. Injecting black humor into domestic drama, disembodied heads talk, mothers exchange roles with the patriarch, pachucos banter, and sell-outs become the mouthpieces for an oppressed communityall characters and themes that would dominate future plays of Valdez and subsequent Chicano literature.

Eliud Martínez -- scholar, painter, novelist, professor, husband, father, brother, son, friend -- was a proponent of what he called "multiple ancestries." Inspired by Carlos Fuentes' novel The Death of Artemio Cruz, he conceived of Mexico as "a thousand countries with a single name." In Güero-Güero: The White Mexican and Other Published and Unpublished Stories, discover twenty tales inspired by Martínez's own upbringing in Pflugerville, Texas, on the outskirts of Austin. The complicated histories of his ancestors were passed down to him by family elders. A gifted and natural storyteller, frequent visits with his father to Pflugerville's segregated cemetery compelled him to write. Here, authentic autobiographical detail elevates these stories to a high art, melding personal and cultural histories, crossing the ocean and spanning continents to divine what it means to be who we are.
