Canales, Viola. The tequila worm

Canales, Viola. The tequila worm. Wendy Lamb/Random House, 2005 [0-385-74674-1]
The is the coming of age story of Sofia, a young Mexican-American girl. The story talks much of the culture and life style of Mexican-Americans and I feel is a most likely a partially autobiographical work. This is 199 page is a good experiential book although I would have preferred it more if there were a glossary to define the many Spanish language terms used.
