Reviews"A thrilling border saga ripped from the pages of Texas history, El Rinche: The Ghost Ranger of the Rio Grande, gives younger readers a crucial history lesson while keeping them turning pages! I only wish Carmona's novel had been around when I was a young reader. I'd have been wiser in understanding the experience of our people regarding "official" narratives that most often serve to whitewash Texas history. Best of all, it's a great read!" --Manuel Luis Martinez, author of Los Duros, a novel and winner of the American Book Award "A heart-pounding, powerful story about the undying spirit of the Plata family--and how they fight to defend their land from being stolen, even in death." --Natalia Sylvester, author of Author of Chasing The Sun & Everyone Knows You Go Home "A romping picaresque that insists on crossing borders--not just the physical one between Mexico and the United States, but the social borders between races and the lines between good and evil." --Benjamin H. Johnson, author of Revolution in Texas: How a Forgotten Rebellion and Its Bloody Suppression Turned Mexicans into Americans
