3.0 out of 5 stars Interseting....But it needs more, 5 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sisters =: Hermanas (Hardcover)
The one thing that I noticed right away about this book is that it was very short. I found it enjoyable and interesting, but I had some questions about it after I finished it. I think that the author should have expanded the story a little more and have it make a little more sense. I didn't quite get why Traci thought that they were "the same and meant for each other". I just didn't get it. I think that he needed to go and explain it a little more.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great YA novel!, 3 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Sisters/Hermanas (Paperback)
Sisters is just great. It juxtaposes two girls; one is a poor Mexican teenage prostitute, the other an American cheerleader. Their contrast is striking. Finally, they meet. Are they going to help each other? Read the novel, you won't regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A short story about growing up in a world of prejudices., 19 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Sisters/Hermanas (Paperback)
The book is a series of concise scenes showing one day in the lives of two 14-year old girls living their lives in similar ways despite the fact that they are from different worlds. Traci is focused on becoming a member of the elite, the cheerleading squad. Rosa is interested only in surviving, day by day, doing whatever is required to keep her alive.

The contrast between the two lives of the girls in this story becomes the similarity that makes them "Sisters/Hermanas."

I liked the book because it was short yet moved me in a way I would never have expected. I put down the book asking myself "What prejudices do I hold against other people that are really the things that tie us together?" This book can make students think about how they feel and may intrigue reluctant readers. It may also be very useful in the bilingual classroom because the book is written in both Spanish and English.
