Efrain's Secret by Sofia Quintero
3.0
Efrain is an exemplary student in a school with few success stories. He is trying to get into the ivy league, but is finding it difficult. He needs more SAT prep, but it's expensive, and even with financial aid, he knows he's going to have a hard time paying for any college, much less an ivy league university. So he takes advantage of a convenient opportunity... One of his oldest friends sells drugs, and is willing to hook Efrain up as a dealer.
I enjoyed this story. The point Is a little heavy that one bad decision can have far-reaching consequences, and also that people are complex and rarely are all good or all bad. I found the Spanish phrases irritating, because I often felt left out of the story or the joke, but overall, I liked the characters and enjoyed the plot. The title isn't very good.
Drugs, violence, gangs.
