Colfax Avenue: Local authors Manuel Ramos and Mario Acevedo will read from their contributions and sign the new collection You Don’t Have a Clue: Latino Mystery Stories for Teens ($16.95 Arte Publico). Set in schools and communities from New York City to Venice Beach, California, the protagonists in these stories reflect the breadth and diversity of the Latino authors included in this innovative collection. Published authors such as Ramos, Acevedo, Alicia Gaspar de Alba, Diana López and Sergio Troncoso appear alongside less well-known authors who deserve more recognition. With an introduction by young adult literature expert Dr. James Blasingame of Arizona State University, this collection is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats until the last page is turned. Nine students from the Tres Vista school at Horace Mann, winners of a recent contest encouraging kids to write mystery stories, will read from their winning stories at this event.
