Any Small Goodness By: Tony Johnston

Genre: Realistic Fiction
Age Recommendation: Grade 6+

This book provides windows into the daily life of Arturo Rodriguez and his family.  Arturo's family is Mexican and lives in an area of Los Angeles that they call the barrio.  This area of L.A. is not without its problems.  There are gangs and poverty.  There is also love, kindness, and friendship.  Through the stories of the Rodriguez family, the reader will find themselves seeing how good can conquer all even in the most challenging of situations.  I recommend this book to those who like stories of people overcoming difficulties.
