It was really high but I had to jump. Right now we were well over 900 feet into the air and it was almost time for me to put the parachute on and take the big leap. We continued to fly higher until we reached 14,000 feet. It then hit me that I was going to be jumping out of a plane. I started to speak to the pilot "Is it possible to turn around? " I asked. "It is but we aren't able to give refunds." He replied. With that being said I decided that I was going to do it and I was going to have fun doing it. I put the parachute on and jumped. I released my parachute and went with the wind. Surprisingly it was peaceful, it felt like all the movement in the world had stopped. As I glided over all the mountains and valleys I realized that I never took time to actually look at the world around me. It took a while but I slowly came in contact with the wet sand on the beach shore. The plane was there ready to depart but some part of me didn't want to leave. "I want to become an island girl." I say out loud but instead of encouraging me they all laughed. I had to make a decision and make it quick. "So.... what are you gonna do? "
Risa Rodriguez is a Latina with a hot temper. She goes to a rough school and is accustomed to solving problems with her fists. This is actually how she meets the boy who will end up changing her life. When Marisa gets into a fistfight with Roberto, the slimy boyfriend of her best friend Alicia, Roberto's nerdy math tutor Rene is there to break it up. During the scuffle, Marisa and Rene accidentally pick up each other's cell phones. Upon exchanging them, it is evident that there is an undeniable chemistry between the two.
They begin dating and become inseparable. Marisa ends up transferring to Rene's school and uses her aunt's address on her registration. They audition to be in Romeo and Juliet together, begin a fitness plan (Marisa wants to lose weight and Rene is determined to gain muscle), and each desire a personality makeover (Marisa would like to stop reacting so violently, while Rene wishes to be cooler).
Because their attitudes and personalities are so different, it's understandable that Marisa and Rene must deal with certain conflicts and pressures in their relationship. These are the kinds of problems that all teenagers will face at some point in their lives. As a result, readers will be able to relate to this young couple quite well; they will want them to succeed and be happy with each other.
Included at the end of the book is a glossary containing Spanish terms that are sprinkled throughout the pages. In no way do the presence of these words detract from the overall reading of the novel; most can be figured out easily from the context of the sentence they are in.
Through his outstanding story, Gary Soto demonstrates that young adults indeed are capable of overcoming various hurdles to become whatever it is they want to be. They can succeed and make better lives for themselves, just as Marisa and Rene have done in ACCIDENTAL LOVE.
