![]() At the salon, Rudy’s mother and Patricia were talking about the date but had no idea they were both talking about the same boy. ![]() It turns out that she went to the salon that her date’s mom owns. Overall, this book was super funny but I have to say that my favorite part of the book was when his date, Patricia, went to go get her hair done before a date. ![]() Even if his date was two years older than him. Rudy was super sweet and it was so cute of him because he was just trying to make his date with an older girl so perfect. He had this sense of humor like no other guy. The main character in the story was Rudy and he was my absolute favorite character. It was short and funny but had a good vibe to it. Novio Boy, in my opinion, is a great book. He divides his time between Berkeley, California and his hometown of Fresno. In 1999, he received the Literature Award from the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, the Author-Illustrator Civil Rights Award from the National Education Association, and the PEN Center West Book Award for Petty Crimes. In 1997, because of his advocacy for reading, he was featured as NBC’s Person-of-the-Week. For ITVS, he produced the film “The Pool Party,” which received the 1993 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Film Excellence. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation. His poems have appeared in many literary magazines, including Ploughshares, Michigan Quarterly, Poetry International, and Poetry, which has honored him with the Bess Hokin Prize and the Levinson Award and by featuring him in the interview series Poets in Person. Gary Soto is the author of eleven poetry collections for adults, most notably New and Selected Poems, a 1995 finalist for both the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the National Book Award. ![]()
