(3) YA Mexican American teen Teodoro's older brother, Manny, returns from war in Iraq shattered by PTSD. Though this family crisis disrupts T's otherwise on-track life, he goes along with his older sister's plan for a sibling road trip in search of healing for Manny. The narrative contains dark subject matter, but T's first-person narration helps keep the mood optimistic and even funny at times. Websites.
