(2) YA Jackson is obsessed with numbers: they're predictable, unlike life with his bohemian singer mother. Across the street lives spirited Esmerelda, and Jackson and Ez narrate their unfolding friendship. Things heat up when they become embroiled with mobsters who are blackmailing Jackson's mom. The book has plenty of appealing elements: friendship, romance, adventure, and two likable protagonists with rich emotional lives.
