(4) 4-6 The first few weeks of school prove to be very eventful for Enrique: he resuscitates one of his baby brothers, is beaten up by his stepfather, and witnesses a drive-by shooting. Choppy writing (perhaps intended to echo the protagonist's uncertain English) distances readers from Enrique, but a wry tone keeps this novel from becoming too melodramatic.
