Synopsis

The lead character of Baldo, Baldo Bermudez, is a 15-year-old Latino teen with visions of creating the perfect low rider and being popular with the girls. Meanwhile, the strip's creators, Hector Cantu and Carlos Castellanos, began the strip in 2000 with dreams of creating a comic rooted in Latin American heritage that would have wide appeal and soar in popularity. Judging by the pieces of car in the driveway and yet another dateless weekend for Baldo, it's fair to say Cantu and Castellanos are having all the luck, and Baldo's readers are having all the laughs. Night of the Bilingual Telemarketers is a compilation of strips from the increasingly popular comic's second year.

The strip centers around Baldo and his humorous observations on teenage life in school and with family. On the home front is Baldo's relationship with his single-parent dad, his younger sister and budding political activist Gracie, and his live-in Old World aunt Carmen. Cantu and Castellanos know firsthand the experience of growing up within two cultures. Consequently, Baldo's daily adventures challenge him to balance his mainstream sensibilities with his Latino heritage. The result is the humorous mix of teenage silliness rooted in reality found in Night of the Bilingual Telemarketers, a book that will delight readers of ages and cultures.
