Plot Summary
This book is about a boy named Danny who visits his dad's family in National City. When he gets there he has trouble making friends and he hangs out with his cousin Sofia and her friends. When he gets there he is a really shy person and he doesn't know anybody besides his cousin Sofia and her friends.
Excerpt
" He's Mexican, because his family's Mexican, but he's not really Mexican. His skin is dark like his grandma's sweet coffee, but his insides are as pale as the cream she mixes in. Danny holds his pencil above the paper, thinking : I'm white boy among Mexicans, and a Mexican among white boys.''
Critical Evaluation
This book deserves a 10 out 10 because it talks about how a boy doesn't know any Spanish and he has to go with his dad family in National City, a city where most Mexicans live. He has to try to make new friends but he is a really shy boy who only talks to his cousin Sofia at first and then after he starts talking to other people.
