Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
A Goodreads user asked this question about Greenlights:
I'm a public school librarian on a 9th and 10th grade campus (ages 14-16)...in Texas...and I'm getting lots of requests for this book.

I just finished and funnily enough I’m a 7th grade teacher! There is some cursing in some of the stories but not in all. There are a couple drug references (marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine). I don’t think anything about it is offensive— it perhaps is a little too mature for a 14 year old... but I would say fine for other ages. It’s really entertaining and funny— I wouldn’t describe it as crass at all. (less)
