A Kirkus Best Book of 2017 * A New York Public Library Best Book of
the Year * An ALA/YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Selection
Read the book Morris Award finalist Sonia Patel called "a
brilliant, subtle debut," and Kirkus hailed as "heart-wrenching,
funny, hopeful, and not-to-be-missed" in a starred review! The
Closest I've Come is a must-read from talented first-time author
Fred Aceves, in the tradition of Walter Dean Myers. Marcos Rivas
yearns for love, a working cell phone, and maybe a pair of sneakers
that aren't falling apart. But more than anything, Marcos wants to
get out of Maesta, his hood, away from his indifferent mom and her
abusive boyfriend-which seems impossible. When Marcos is placed in
a new after-school program, he meets Zach and Amy, whose friendship
inspires Marcos to open up to his Maesta crew, too, and starts to
think more about his future and what he has to fight for. Marcos
ultimately learns that bravery isn't about acting tough and being
macho; it's about being true to yourself. The Closest I've Come is
a story about traversing real and imagined boundaries, about
discovering new things in the world, and about discovering
yourself, too.
