(3) YA Working-class teen Ramiro Lopez goes to an all-Hispanic high school. Jake Upthegrove is a wealthy WASP with anger-management issues who attends the magnet school next door. Both struggle with feelings of abandonment, and the boys relate their stories in parallel first-person narratives. The book takes a while to get going, but intriguing supporting characters and a vivid El Paso setting help sustain interest.
