Noldo and His Magical Scooter at the Battle of the Alamo=noldo Y Su Patinete Magico en La Batalla De El Alamo

Publisher Marketing: Noldo is a Mexican-American boy, who, after building his own scooter from scraps, is magically transported from 1950's San Antonio, Texas, into the middle of of the Battle of the Alamo, where he befriends a lad who lived more than a hundred years earlier. He lives through hard times, making do with very little. The story forges a link for Chicanos to their historical roots in the Southwest, revealing a past that has been otherwise excluded from school textbooks and the mass media. Noldo es un chico mexicoamericano, quien, despues de construir su propio patinete de materiales de desecho, es magicamente transportado del San Antonio de los anos 50's a la Batalla de el Alamo, en donde se hace amigo de un muchacho que habia vivido mas que cien anos antes. El vive aquellos tiempos tan dificiles, siendo muy creativo con lo poco que tiene. La historia tiende un puente que va desde los chicanos de hoy dia hasta sus raices historicas en el Suroeste, revelandonos una historia que ha sido excluida de los libros de texto y de los medios de comunicacion. Armando Rendon grew up in the Westside barrio of San Antonio, Texas, and much of our hero's story and background sounds a lot like the life and times of the author. Armando moved to California in 1950 and lives near Berkeley with his wife, Helen. He authored Chicano Manifesto, the first book about Chicanos by a Chicano, in 1971. He is also the founder and editor of the online literary magazine, Somos en escrito, which he launched in November 2009.
