  Bombo is the first in a series about two eighth graders who rescue dogs and sometimes their owners. Robin Kould and Mary Yen become two unlikely comrades as they navigate the turbulent waters of their middle school years. Sometimes insightful, sometimes humorous, but always earnest, these two bungle their way through to accomplish their good deeds.Robin Kould has spent the first thirteen years of his life moving from one derelict place to another with his alcoholic mother and whatever boyfriend she takes up with. He has survived by scrounging whatever food he can find, not being noticed so as to avoid the swinging fists of whomever his mom is living with, and, when all else fails, disappearing to a place inside himself. His mother has recently died, and he finds himself living with his bachelor uncle where, for the first time he can remember, he has plenty to eat, has a room of his own, and has gotten into trouble.

  A sweetly humorous middle grade novel packed with action, basketball, and a dash of magical realism about friendship and family, first crushes, and belonging, from acclaimed author Gary Soto. 
  Thirteen-year-old Jordan Mendoza has a huge crush on his classmate, Sierra, but he’s never going to win her affections if he stays a C student and keeps embarrassing himself on the basketball court. And it doesn’t help that his best friend, Antonio, likes to tease him about it all a little too much. 
  But when Jordan dives into the waters of a dangerous irrigation canal to save a drowning puppy, he’s suddenly got even more on his mind than kissing Sierra and making the starting team. Can he nurse the abandoned puppy back to health (and will his parents let him keep her)? Who threw her into the canal—and is it possible that there are more puppies needing rescue? And why are the cops suddenly at Jordan’s door, looking for him?  
  There’s something for every reader in this story’s mix of humor, sports, themes of thrilling independence, subtle strands of magical realism, and timely social commentary, all held together by a sweet and satisfying emotional core.

  In the first of this series, Jazz’s older brother plays the straight man during the evening’s antics in Book of Bad Manners. Jazz and her Uncle Mark one up each other’s bad manners during Uncle Mark’s dinner while her older brother stews over the full report expected by their mom. Culminating in the best worst bad manner, this book is sure to be either the most refreshing or most raucous story on the bookshelf. 
  Spattered with irreverence and touched with ingenuity, this illustrated series featuring Jazz and her older brother has the feel of an instant classic. Gratefully, Laura Teste, in her author-illustrator debut, has included tongue-in-cheek nods to the lucky adults in the room. For the inquisitive-can’t-sit-still children, her series is sure to capture their attention and whet their appetite for more. 
  I can confidently promise that you cannot imagine all the bad manners displayed by the characters in this short book. The plot was simply ingenious. – Five Star Review by Readers’ Favorites
