In the 1960s, Rico Fuentes, a pale-skinned Cuban American teenager, abandons drug-infected New York City for the picket fence and apple pie world of Wisconsin, only to discover that he still feels like an outsider and that violent and judgmental people can be found even in the wholesome Midwest.
Teens will be able to relate to the authentic voice of Oscar Hijuelos.
While browsing the shelves in my library I came across this book. It caught my attention and turned out to be a terrific read! Recommend it to those who liked The Outsiders.
This is definitely one I will share with my guy readers.
