Steve is a popular senior who always gets what he wants: girls, a soccer scholarship, and - lately - street cred. Frankie, on the other hand, spends his time shooting off fireworks with his best friend Zach, working at his parents' restaurant, and obsessing about his longtime crush, Rebecca Sanchez. Frankie has reservations about Steve's crusade to win the respect of the local cholos. He doesn't think about them, though, until he gets into a fist fight John Dalton - the richest, preppiest kid in his New Mexican high school, and longtime nemesis of Steve. After the fight, Steve takes Frankie under his wing - and Frankie's social currency begins to rise. The cholos who used to ignore him start to recognize him; he even lands a date to Homecoming with Rebecca. The situation with Dalton continues to simmer, and after another incident Steve is bent on retaliating. Frankie starts to think that his brother is taking this respect thing too far. He may have to choose between respecting his brother and respecting himself. In an honest and humorous debut novel, <i>Coert Voorhees</i> uses a coming of age story to look at where loyalty ends and the self begins. 2011415 book 29 4 2008 The Brothers Torres total:84|5:22|4:38|3:20|2:4|1:0| 84 330 162 34 4 0 false false Sun Jan 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 07:43:17 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 10:29:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 07:14:25 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 07:24:22 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Oct 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 17:08:22 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 17:16:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Oct 23 15:17:56 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 16:45:26 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 13 17:19:53 -0700 2008 Wed Jan 28 18:46:47 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Aug 09 11:20:51 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 11:21:05 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jul 05 22:28:03 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 22:29:29 -0700 2008
