Summary: Jesse "Street Angel" Sanchez has been on the streets for 13 years. She knows how to take care of herself and she's not exactly the cleanest young girl, but she has mad skateboarding skills and ninja fighting skills. There are five books in the series, which talk about Aztec gods, astronauts, Satanists, and much more. She shows that just because you are poor and living on the streets, it doesn't mean you can't have an imagination.
Target Audience: The target audience for this book is your adults in grades 10-12. This is not recommended for anyone younger because of the language and images in the book.
Evaluation: This book was definitely interesting. I have never read anything like this before. It has lots of humor, comics, and uses a great deal of imagination.
Reader Response Activity: An activity that you can do with this book is to have your students come up a crazy character/creature for Street Angel to fight. This activity allows you students to use lots of creativity. Also, have your students give those characters certain attributes that make the character strong or witty or whatever they want.
