Everything We Never Had by Randy Ribay

Everything We Never Had by Randy Ribay I grew up close to Watsonville and learned a few things about the history of Watsonville. It's a good story, very touching. Add this one to your high school library.

The House That Lou Built by Mae Respicio

I loved this story.  It's great to find some Filipino stories.  I had a high school student that asked for more.  This isn't really high school but there are a lot of cultural references that I think my student would have enjoyed.  She's graduated now but if she sees this blog, this one is for her.  

I like that ideal with having two cultures and working on fitting in.  It's a good read.  Enjoy.
