Manolo's father was a spectacular and beloved bullfighter. Now, as Manolo nears his 12th birthday, he must choose his career path. Will he become a bullfighter as great as his father, as all the citizens of Arcangel hope? Or will he please himself and pursue a career in medicine? This compelling young-adult novel won the Newbery Medal in 1964. Not surprisingly, it features vivid descriptions of bullfights.  (SPN160, $5.99)
