Publisher Description:
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.

He is also the founder and editor of the online literary magazine, Somos en escrito, which he launched in November 2009.
