Excerpt: Identificación: (I.D.) (by (author) Vicki Grant)

Miré su licencia de conducir. Medía cinco pies nueve pulgadas. Pesaba 150 libras y tenía los ojos azules. Qué coincidencia, igual que yo. Casi me dio risa. Era increíble cómo podíamos ser iguales y a la vez diferentes. Andrew Ashbury tenía todo lo quería y yo no tenía nada.
¿Cómo suceden esas cosas? Me fijé en su cara. ¿Qué tenía de especial? No era mejor que yo.

Editorial Reviews

"Most appropriate for reluctant native Spanish readers, it will appeal to those reluctant male readers. For students learning Spanish, these titles are appropriate for strong second year students and beyond."
