(Facts of Life) "[Soto's] greatest gift to readers may be the attention he focuses on meaningful lives, experiences, and occasional injustices that might otherwise go unobserved." — Booklist
(Accidental Love) "With humor and insight, [Soto] creates memorable, likable characters." — Booklist
(Have Mercy on These Teenage Chimps) "[A] lighthearted, off-beat slice of life . . . Breezy and entertaining." — Kirkus Reviews
