LitPick Review
Efrain Rodriguez is a senoir this year, and he has high hopes for college. He is hoping to get into an Ivy League school, but he can't afford it. He has some money saved but it's not enough. His mom can't is already working two jobs to put food on the table, and his dad left their family for a younger model. Efrain has to resort to other options to get where he wants to go. He needs to get money fast with graduation around the corner, and that only means one thing; the last thing anyone suspects.
Opinion:
Sofia Quintero did a stunning job expressing how hard it was to stay on top, and what the pressure can do to you. I now have a knew respect for teens living in the slums, and having a hard time. The characters in this bok were perfect. Efrian is the perfect example of someone who will do anything to make everyone proud, makes mistakes, but still stays positive. Quintero did an outstanding job writing this book.
