Ambitious high school senior Efrain Rodriguez dreams of escaping
the South Bronx for an Ivy League college like Harvard or Yale. But
how is his family going to afford to pay for a prestigious
university when Moms has to work insane hours to put food on the
table as it is? And Efrain wouldn't dare ask that good-for-nothing
father of his who has traded his family in for younger models. Left
with few options, Efrain chooses to do something he never thought
he would. He embarks on a double life--honor student by day, drug
peddler at night--convinced that by temporarily capitulating to
society's negative expectations of a boy like him, he can
eventually defy them.
Sofia Quintero makes a stunning debut writing for young adults with
this gritty, complex, and real exploration of the life of an urban
teen whose attempt to leave one world behind for a better one could
cost him everything.
