He has superhero fantasies, hangs around with the neighborhood kids, smokes cigarettes, tells very lame jokes. The kids fight, discuss the mysteries of religion and sex, and play games -- such as leapfrog. So vivid and so very credible, Leapfrog reads as if Rosales had simply transcribed everything that he'd heard or said for this one moving and touching book about a lost childhood. 651 0 $a Cuba $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Kushner, Anna, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230055901.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826083242.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4AF2EB566B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
