Opis

Poignant but laugh-out-loud funny contemporary YA about losing a sister and finding yourself amid the pressures, expectations and stereotypes of growing up in a Mexican American home

Recenzje

'This gripping debut about a Mexican-American misfit is alive and crackling - a gritty tale wrapped in a page-turner... Part detective story, part coming-of-age tale, Sánchez's novel doesn't shy from heavy subject matter.'
