Abstract
Reviewed by: Call Me Henri Maggie Hommel López, Lorraine M. Call Me Henri. Curbstone, 2006237p ISBN 1-931896-27-5$17.95 Ad Gr. 7-10 Enrique (aka Henri) juggles ESL classes at Peralta Middle School and responsibilities at home babysitting his three baby brothers, all the while trying to avoid the gangs that plague his neighborhood, not to mention his stepfather's harsh temper. Privately, he longs to learn French, a language more similar to his native Spanish than English, feeling that skill will take him away from his troubled life. López tempers the harsh urban circumstances with gentle humor and by portraying the world through Enrique's innocent and untainted perspective (in fact, Enrique sometimes seems younger than a typical middle-schooler). The absorbing story creates memorably vivid characters—Marvin Alfaro's abuelita accompanies him to each of his classes and grins proudly whenever he speaks; Enrique's friend Horacio says "Hay labio jabón lechuga" to any girl who walks by because he thinks it sounds romantic (translated, it means "There is lipsoap lettuce"). The story is choppily written, though, and the ending sequence of events (Enrique witnesses a drive-by shooting in which Horacio is seriously hurt and Enrique becomes the gang's next target; concerned teachers enroll him in a French immersion program in Canada and sneak him, dressed as a girl, to the airport) is rushed and barely plausible, with all concluding a bit too neatly. Still, readers will not begrudge the worthy Enrique an optimistic ending and the fulfillment of his dream—one can hope that his new direction will allow him to escape his past and reach his potential.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
