Mr. Renteria,

Two other teachers, besides myself, have used the novel thus far.  I have heard nothing but positive feedback from both the teachers and the students.  I am using it with my Freshman classes; I’ve even had some of my past students who are now in higher grades come get a copy and read it on their own.  I can honestly tell you that this is the first reading assignment that I have had 100% of my students engaged in the reading, even silent reading.  I thank you for the opportunity of working with the book.

Robert, You are a hell of an inspiration. Thanks for the book. My favorite line in the book was “its the will of the man that makes the skill of a man.”

“After hearing Robert speak at the Hispanic Heritage Breakfast I was touched and excited!  I went home and read his book within 2 hours.  I was tearing a lot because I was able to see myself.  I felt he was writing the book about me.  I appreciated his boldness and his mission! Robert is AWESOME! What an inspiration he is to all Latinos!”
