It's just one thing after another running from serious to hilarious. His troubles grow, but so does his heart. The hero is a Mexican-American kid, and the book shows lots of respect for his family's culture. At the same time, Victor is just like any other kid on the journey from "being a kid" to becoming a young man. The author does a super job, apparently drawn from years knowing and teaching kids like Victor. The scene on the mountain is amazing.</p><br>
