YA
A Texas town is rocked by tragedy when "the Johns," two star baseball players, die in an accident, but Chon Gonzales hopes that this is his chance to finally be with John Mejia's girlfriend, Araceli. Strong, evocative language paints a vivid portrait of a tiny and hopeless town. The plot isn't as compelling as the character studies strung throughout the book.
