In Dos Rios, Texas, life is all about borders -- and what happens when you cross the line. A fresh new series in the tradition of Bluford High explores what it's like to grow up on the edge.
A quinceanera for the record books?
If Fabiola Garza had her way, her quinceanera would be as simple and as non-traditional as possible-just two airline tickets to New York City and her best friend in tow. Sadly, things hardly ever go Fabi's way.
After mean girl Melodee lays down a quinceanera challenge in front of the entire school, Fabi is forced to upgrade her party plans. Melodee is rich and popular-her quinceanera will be effortlessly epic. Fabi is at a loss as to how to make her party remotely as fun and fabulous as Melodee's is sure to be. Younger sister Alexis steps in with a scheme to get Fabi on the TV show Quince Dreams-but Fabi isn't convinced she won't end up in a quince nightmare instead.

Review
Praise for Border Town #1: Crossing the Line
“Packed with action and surprising twists and turns up to the very last page, this start to the new Border Town series is a gripping mystery and also a warm, contemporary Latino drama of extended family and friends… With lots of laughs, especially about small town lack of privacy and about extended family, the drama is both suspenseful and touching.” --Booklist
“A fast-paced, easy-to-read book that Latino teenagers will enjoy to read – mostly because they will see themselves in the pages.” – The Hispanic Reader

Thank you Scholastic Books!
By irtcolchas
I commend Scholastic Book Fair for giving our Latinos a voice. A voice that many can relate to.
The author meshes traditional cultural values of good morals with present day real life situations. The importance of family is a constant thread through the book.
We all have dreams, especially our youth. Many teens dream of their "sweet sixteen" or "quinceaneras". Most Latino families throughout the world spend as much for quinceaneras as they do for weddings. It's nice to see the point of view of those that don't have $35,000+ to spend on an elaborate, breathtaking quinceanera. Plus the reality show element brings much humor.
Drug dealers and drug addicts cross all cultures and socio-economic status. In Quince Clash, there are drug dealers but no drug addicts. And the drug dealers are not even students like in many, especially higher-tuition, schools.
Bottom line, high morals standards have prevailed in many Latino families and it is heartwarming to see this documented by this author.
BTW, not related to the author.

reality tv in a book
By Melissa Sack
This is the second book in the Bordertown series. The books do not need to be read in order. Each novel can stand alone. In this installment it's almost time for Fabi's quinceanera. She dreams of not having the traditional party. She wants to take the money and go on a trip. Fabi's younger sister Alexis has another plan. She writes to a reality show on her sister's behalf with a made up story of why she deserves a big quinceneneara. The show comes to town and cameras start rolling. As the truth comes out relationships are strained. This novel read much like an episode of a teen reality show. Readers that enjoy those types of dramas would like this book

Will not recommend
By Spanish teacher's view
The parents who hosted the Scholastic Book Fair at our school provided my class with a copy of this book. I don't think any of the parents read it first, and I will not recommend it to my students. The book contains all the worse stereotypes of Latinos (drug dealers, dishonest,superstitious). Our school does not have any Latinos, and I don't want my students to think the characters in this book are in any way representative of Mexican Americans.Yes, the reader learns the importance of the quinceanera and Fabio does get her quince in the end. The book is a quick read but not one that promotes cultural understanding or appreciation.
