(2) YA The New York City apartment in the largely Hispanic neighborhood to which Iris Pinkowitz, the engaging twelve-year-old narrator; her mother; and older brother have just moved comes with a host of colorful neighbors, all memorable to varying degrees. A rousing display of community action at the end goes a bit overboard, but it is Iris's creative tackling of her own and everyone else's problems that provides the novel's main attraction.
