â[A] first-rate exploration of self-identity.â âSchool Library Journal
Dannyâs tall and skinny. Even though heâs not built, his arms are long enough to give his pitch a power so fierce any college scout would sign him on the spot. Ninety-five-mile-an-hour fastball, but the boyâs not even on a team. Every time he gets up on the mound, he loses it. Ball ends up so far out of the strike zone itâs laughable.
But at his private school, they donât expect much else from him. Dannyâs brown. Half-Mexican brown. And growing up in San Diego, that close to the border, means everyone knows exactly who he is before he even opens his mouth. Before they find out he canât speak Spanish, and before they realize his mom has blond hair and blue eyes, theyâve got him pegged. But it works the other way too. And Dannyâs convinced itâs his whiteness that sent his father back to Mexico.
Thatâs why heâs spending the summer with his dadâs family. Only, to find himself, he may just have to face the demons he refuses to seeâthe demons that are right in front of his face. And open up to a friendship he never saw coming.
Set in the alleys and on the ball fields of San Diego County, Mexican WhiteBoy is a story of friendship, acceptance, and the struggle to find your identity in a world of definitions.
