(3) 4-6 Cocalero Novels series. Diego Juárez, who escaped cocaine dealers in I Am a Taxi, is living in the Bolivian countryside with the Ricardo family and looking for a way to return to his parents in Cochabamba. After the army destroys the Ricardos' coca crop, Diego joins a revolt against the powerful government. The action-packed writing is informative without overwhelming readers with politics.
