An inspiring YA debut from the author of Dangerous Minds.
From the Hardcover edition..
Gripping, thought-provoking, and hopeful, Muchacho is a rare and inspiring story about one teen\'s determination to fight his circumstances and shape his own destiny.
And what goes down is entirely in Eddie\'s hands.
But in Eddie\'s world, it\'s a thin line between tragedy and glory.
A heart, and a mind, and something more: a poet.
She sees something in Eddie he doesn\'t even see in himself.
Then along comes Lupe, who makes his blood race.
He hangs with his cousins, who will always back him up--when they aren\'t in jail.
He blows off school, even though he\'s a secret reader.
But he\'s working pretty hard at being a juvenile delinquent.
He\'s also very smart.
Eddie Corazon is angry.
