  <default_description>For as long as Estrella Alvarez can remember, her mother has been&lt;P&gt;planning to throw her an elaborate quincea&#241;era for her fifteenth&lt;P&gt;birthday -- complete with a mariachi band, cheesy decorations, and a&lt;P&gt;hideous dress. Just thinking about her quince makes Estrella cringe. But&lt;P&gt;her mother insists that it's tradition.&lt;P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Estrella has other things on her mind, anyway -- like dating Speedy. Does&lt;P&gt;it matter that her new friends -- and her parents -- would never approve of a&lt;P&gt;guy from el barrio? Estrella's almost fifteen and wants to start making&lt;P&gt;her own decisions. But is she ready to find out who she is -- and who she&lt;P&gt;really wants to be?&lt;P&gt;&lt;P&gt;</default_description>
