About
91´«Ã½
"Rudy Herrara tries on the moves of a 'cool dude' when he receives a perfumed invitation to a pool party and his family realizes that Rudy is growing up," said Kathie L. Meizner, chair of the Carnegie Award Selection Committee. "Natural and fully developed characters are revealed in humorous, neatly paced, well-acted vignettes. This universal coming-of-age story transcends class, time, and ethnic background. It is the transcendent quality which makes The Pool Party an outstanding video for young people."
