Many readers of The Purple Tigers by El Espada are convinced that this book deserves a close read across the broadest reaches of American culture. Every teen and their parents or guardians, as well as school administrators, coaches and educators should read this book. Faced with compelling issues such as peer pressure, gender identity, sexual abuse, teen pregnancy, domestic and gang violence and last but not least, parental abandonment, it is a wonder that our female youth still manage to retain a sense of sanity and hope.
