In the end, they find themselves wanting the characters to succeed."- VOYA " The baseball scenes...sizzle like Danny's fastball ...Danny's struggle to find his place will speak strongly to all teens, but especially to those of mixed race."- Booklist " De la Pea blends sports and street together in a satisfying search for personal identity.

Synopsis
Newbery Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Matt de la Pe a's Mexican WhiteBoy is a story of friendship, acceptance, and the struggle to find your identity in a world of definitions . Danny is tall and skinny. Even though he's 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 boy's not even on a team. Every time he gets up on the mound, he loses it. But at his private school, they don't expect much else from him. Danny is brown. Half-Mexican brown. And growing up in San Diego that close to the border means everyone else knows exactly who he is before he even opens his mouth. Before they find out he can't speak Spanish, and before they realize his mom has blond hair and blue eyes, they've got him pegged. But it works the other way too. And Danny's convinced it's his whiteness that sent his father back to Mexico. That's why he's spending the summer with his dad's family. But to find himself, he may just have to face the demons he refuses to see--the demons that are right in front of his face. And open up to a friendship he never saw coming. Matt de la Pe a's critically acclaimed novel is an intimate and moving story that offers hope to those who least expect it.

- _***8 (70)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufExcellent packaging: the books were wrapped in two layers of thin white paper and placed inside a bubble wrap courier bag.

- l***u (12)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufOverall buying from here was a fantastic experience! The book arrived at my door in two days, during a flash flood advisory. It was packaged in a grey plastic mailer, secured with extra tape so that the item stayed nice and dry. The book itself is exactly as stated: a fresh new copy. No witting or highlighting, no library stickers. Just a clean, intact copy. This was much cheaper than if had I bought from a major bookstore, so all in all I’m very pleased with my purchase here! Would recommend.
