Author: Johnson, LouanneEdition: First EditionNumber Of Pages: 208Details: An inspiring YA debut from the author of Dangerous Minds. Eddie Corazon is angry. He’s also very smart. B ut he’s working pretty hard at being a juvenile delinquent. He blows off school, even though he’s a secret reader. He hangs with his cousins, who will always back him up—when they aren’t in jail. Then along comes Lupe, who makes his blood race. She sees something in Eddie he doesn’t even see in himself. A heart, and a mind, and something more: a poet. But in Eddie’s world, it’s a thin line between tragedy and glory. And what goes down is entirely in Eddie’s hands. 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.EAN: 9780375861178Release Date: 08-09-2009Languages: EnglishItem Note: This is a former school library book and there are some name stamps on the page edges and inside the book.
