*An Indie Next List Pick, a Top Ten Rainbow Book for Young Readers, and one of Bank Street Children's Best Books of the Year!* Jules Machias explores identity, gender fluidity, and the power of friendship and acceptance in this dual-narrative story about two kids who join forces to save a dog . . . but wind up saving each other. Ash is no stranger to feeling like an outcast. For someone who cycles through genders, it’s a daily struggle to feel in control of how people perceive you. Some days Ash is undoubtedly girl, but other times, 100 percent guy. Daniel lacks control too—of his emotions. He’s been told he’s overly sensitive more times than he can count. He can’t help the way he is, and he sure wishes someone would accept him for it. So when Daniel’s big heart leads him to rescue a dog that’s about to be euthanized, he’s relieved to find Ash willing to help. The two bond over their four-legged secret. When they start catching feelings for each other, however, things go from cute to complicated. Daniel thinks Ash is all girl . . . what happens when he finds out there’s more to Ash’s story? With so much on the line—truth, identity, acceptance, and the life of an adorable pup named Chewbarka—will Ash and Daniel forever feel at war with themselves because they don’t fit into the world’s binaries? Or will their friendship help them embrace the beauty of living in between?

He calls himself Don Quixote and persuades his neighbor, Sancho Panza, to be his squire by promising him riches, fame and the governorship of an island. Together, they get away and their famous adventures begin. Don Quixote takes a small inn for a castle, and he believes large windmills to be giants and thus attacks. He attacks a flock of sheep, believing it to be an army, finds a barber basin which he believes to be a helmet…. This book is rewritten from “Don Quixote of La Mancha” by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. This novel is his masterpiece and is considered to represent the birth of modern literature in the 20th century.

Originally published in 1928, and written by journalist Daniel Venegas, Las aventuras de Don Chipote is an unknown classic of American literature, dealing with the phenomenon that has made this nation great: immigration. It is the bittersweet tale of a greenhorn who abandons his plot of land (and a shack full of children) in Mexico to come to the United States and sweep the gold up from the streets. Together with his faithful companions, a tramp named Policarpo and a dog called Skinenbones. Don Chipote (whose name means "bump on the head") stumbles from one misadventure to another. Along the way, we learn what the Southwest was like during the 1920s: how Mexican laborers were treated like beasts of burden, and how they became targets for every shyster and lowlife looking to make a quick buck. The author, himself a former immigrant laborer, spins his tale using the Chicano vernacular of the time. Full of folklore and local color, Don Chipote is a must-read for scholars, students, and all who would become acquainted with the historical and economic roots, as well as with the humor, of the Southwestern Hispanic community. Ethriam Cash Brammer, a young poet and scholar, provides a faithful English translation, while Dr. Nicolás Kanellos offers an accessible, well-documented introduction to this important novel in 1984.

"En el Quijote se cuenta la historia de Alonso Quijano, que se volvió loco de tanto leer novelas de caballerías y se creyó un caballero andante. En sus aventuras, don Quijote cabalga sobre su caballo Rocinante en compañía de su fiel amigo, Sancho Panza. Todo lo que hace es en honor de su amanda, Dulcinea del Toboso. Pero hay un problema: todo lo que don Quijote ve solo existe en su imaginación"--Page 4 of cover.
