Description - Jesse by Gary Soto

In his first novel for young adults, Gary Soto paints a moving portrait of two sweet, ambitious Mexican American brothers who hope junior college will help them escape their heritage of tedious physical labor.Their struggles are humorous, true to life, and deeply affecting, and young adults will sympathize with them as they work through their problems and eventually come to terms with what is possible in an imperfect world.'Readers looking for a finely written, contemplative narrative will appreciate this work.'--School Library Journal
