Mexican Whiteboy by Matt de la Peña

4.0

I listened to this on audio, and had it playing at 1.25 speed; the story felt slow to me before I did that. Turns out it was just the reading speed. I loved the look at the friendship between these boys: one half white, half Mexican; the other half black, half Mexican. The culture of National City and this family is so vibrant and real, it was almost its own character.
