About This Item
202 pages. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's green cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original jacket. First edition. Victor Villasenor has presented us with the gift of seeing our lives through a magical lens that makes us feel confident and powerful to meet life's challenges. He offers as examples beautiful stories from his own family history, stories of his mother and father facing the derision and ridicule of older children, developing the courage to encounter the unknown or supernatural, escaping from persecution by soldiers during the Mexican revolution, extending the abilities of their bodies to endure hunger, thirst and physical stress. Walking Stars is filled with the triumph of young people exceeding their the expectations of friends, family and even themselves. The world of young adults, aside from being fraught with trauma and real-life danger, is also filled with the magic and the opportunity to discover what one can really achieve in life. Condition: Jacket slightly torn at front heal hinge, small chip in heal spine, small tear at head of spine, spine sunned else near fine copy in a very good to fine jacket.
