AG is a narrative masterfully poised (late summer, 1962) at the brink of a big culture shift, that is BEFORE: the Viet Nam War got more consuming; the civil rights movement expanded (& produced its accompanying legislation); the womens’ rights movement began to bud; the Beatles and the counterculture changed American rock and roll; and safety and mileage standards were mandated for automobiles, changing this industry. The enduring success of this film is largely owed to the writers’ letting the 6 protagonists’ own lives suggest what was to follow by the decade’s end. They are allowed to be themselves in a time and place and we watch with trepidation and irony, wondering how the future will interrupt them. It was no small achievement to resist spelling things out via screenwriter’s hindsight. Lucas was also wise NOT to place his story in a major urban center like the affluent northeastern suburbs or, more likely, Southern California. Fresno was the ideal choice for AG’s

Yes, the character is spunky and interesting.
Yes the writing is vibrant.
But at the end, I still don’t see anything great about vandalism. The tacked on ending that graffiti isn’t __just__ about illegal vandalism but could be about public murals and graffiti clubs doesn’t work for me.
If you like graffiti style art and can get past the illegal part, this is a great book.

Angel loves doing art, but is still finding her place within the scope of it all. Her work is labeled “whimsical”, but she wants to up it to “realistic”. However, when bad boy Miguel approaches her saying she has the perfect style to be a great graffiti artist, well, what else can Angel do but say yes to lessons? But as the days go on, she gets wrapped up more and more in the sometimes seedy underbelly of the world of graffiti art. Will she be able to pull herself out before it’s too late?
I really enjoyed this book. Told in a very raw, honest, and realistic way, this novel portrays the Latino culture in a way I don’t think I’ve seen before in YA literature. The events in this novel feel very real and make you invest so much into Angel and her life, leading up to a killer climax. I almost cried while reading this book and that is extremely hard for someone to do. This book is highly recommended.

I had heard about this book through relatives and decided to pick it up.
It was great read. Very entertaining from start to finish. I would recommend this to anyone. Can’t wait to read her next book “Invisible Touch”.
