When sixteen-year-old Angel meets Call at the mall, he buys her meals and says he loves her, and he gives her some candy that makes her feel like she can fly. Pretty soon she's addicted to his candy, and she moves in with him. As a favor, he asks her to hook up with a couple of friends of his, and then a couple more. Now Angel is stuck working the streets at Hastings and Main, a notorious spot in Vancouver, Canada, where the girls turn tricks until they disappear without a trace, and the authorities don't care. But after her friend Serena disappears, and when Call brings home a girl who is even younger and more vulnerable than her to learn the trade, Angel knows that she and the new girl have got to find a way out.

In this "raucous, moving, and necessary" story by a Pulitzer Prize finalist (San Francisco Chronicle), the De La Cruzes, a family on the Mexican-American border, celebrate two of their most beloved relatives during a joyous and bittersweet weekend. "All we do, mija, is love. Love is the answer. Nothing stops it. Not borders. Not death." In his final days, beloved and ailing patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, affectionately called Big Angel, has summoned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party. But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly one hundred, dies, transforming the weekend into a farewell doubleheader. Among the guests is Big Angel's half brother, known as Little Angel, who must reckon with the truth that although he shares a father with his siblings, he has not, as a half gringo, shared a life. Across two bittersweet days in their San Diego neighborhood, the revelers mingle among the palm trees and cacti, celebrating the lives of Big Angel and his mother, and recounting the many inspiring tales that have passed into family lore, the acts both ordinary and heroic that brought these citizens to a fraught and sublime country and allowed them to flourish in the land they have come to call home. Teeming with brilliance and humor, authentic at every turn, The House of Broken Angels is Luis Alberto Urrea at his best, and cements his reputation as a storyteller of the first rank. "Epic . . .

Here is a story that brings you into an enchanted world deep within the ocean and shares the sea's greatest secret, the Sea Angel. Sea angels are magical creatures who protect other small sea creatures from dangers such as tidal waves, submarines, oil slicks, and fishing nets. As the story unfolds, a sea angel is stolen from the sea by a greedy diver seeking treasure. Will true friendship and a relentless search save the sea's greatest secret? Laced with fun facts about the ocean's flora and fauna, Sea Angel transports the reader through kelp and gorgonian forests, to an underwater mountain, and a haunted sea of lost ships. Sea Angel is an entertaining and informative read for ages 7 to 11. "Vivid visceral descriptions bring the watery atmosphere to life - Dark green and brown sargassum floated in the water and clung to the rocks below...It felt so dense and close in this sea. Nothing really stood still, but nothing really moved much either.' From the Kelp Forest to the Sargasso Sea, no setting is predictable, and like a marine version of Narnia, the characters are at once familiar and otherworldly. There is also a sweet morality tale about sisterly love tucked inside this highly imaginative narrative. A story that sparkles like its protagonist's gossamer transparent wings." - Kirkus Review, Kirkus Discoveries
