It explores what was not so easy to discern in the midst of it all - the parallel histories of suffering and loss, and of community coalescence and empowerment.

Written by Anonymous. Before that, I had never been acquainted with the gay community and only knew closeted and frustrated gay people.

My eyes were opened when I got there, in a wonderful way. But AIDS had beat me there and I remember the profound fear and controversy that was unfolding at the time.

This movie made me think of those days like I hadn't for years. It is an incredible, moving story which shows how much of a Holocaust the epidemic was.

It is heartbreaking and poignant, with personal stories and compassion shown by the individuals involved which are heroic and inspiring. I found this movie to be an important contribution to a period of American History that musn't be forgotten.

I found myself shocked all over again by how widespread and devastating the epidemic was, how it was ignored and feared by a homophobic nation.

I wonder how different our world might be today if we hadn't lost so many wonderful, creative young people to this plague?

AIDS survival has come a long way, but the disease is not gone. People really should rent this movie, it's like lighting a memorial candle of sorts.

You will remember someone who is gone that touched your life in a special way. Looking for some great streaming picks?

Why don't we question if Mexican-American readers will identify more easily? Are we assuming there is no such thing as a Mexican-American reader?

Or if there are, they'll only read books about Mexican-Americans? Does it appear that the main concern of this argument is for white kids to read "multi-cultural" books, while Mexican-American kids should read Mexican-American books?

White kids should be exposed to experiences lived outside of white privilege, while Mexican-American kids should have the advantage of recognizing themselves in literature?

While I tend to agree with that particular sentiment to some degree, I also recognize that this is in contrast to my belief that readers are not incapable of identifying outside of race boundaries, and that doing so can be transformative.

I've tied myself up in a knot; what do you think? Rondell is a demoralizing stereotype. From time to time I find myself in conversations with people who want to discuss the problems they see with the popular Netflix series Orange is the New Black.

One frequent complaint is that, though they are happy to see black actors taking roles in a successful tv series, they are angry that, once again, these roles available to black people are as criminals and prisoners, prostitutes, murderers, and drug addicts.

I get that. But it seems unfair to make that accusation when the subject of a tv show is a prison.

For all of its faults in characterizing women's prison as some kind of sorority or summer camp with titillating lesbian sex and interpersonal drama not to mention a white protagonist that introduces us -- a primarily white audience -- to this exotic environment see above , I'd have far more criticisms if all of the actors were white.

They share a harrowing experience and become friends over the course of their journey. They don't tell each other their backstory. Rather, we learn Rondell's backstory as Miguel reads his juvi file he has stolen from the group home.

We learn Miguel's backstory at the same time Rondell learns it, at the end of the narrative, after they are friends.

Rondell is described throughout the book as slow, illiterate, violent. One reviewer describes his characterization this way: " Rondell is described as hulking, slow-witted, illiterate, sentimental, superstitious and prone to inexplicable bursts of violence.

And he is incredibly trusting and loyal. He is all of these things. But then, as readers, we are privy to learning his backstory as Miguel reads his file.

Rondell was born significantly premature, the child of a crack-addicted mom. He never knew his father. He was quickly tracked to special ed in school.

He lived in multiple foster homes until he committed his first crime, and then lived the rest of his childhood in the juvenile system. He had poor schooling, poor family support, poor modeling.

He was raised mostly by institutions. Sadly, tragically, this is the story of thousands of children. Many of them are black. Does this mean Rondell is a stereotype?

Or does this mean he is the product of a prison industrial complex that replicates his story a million-fold? In no place does de la Pena ever characterize all black characters as slow or illiterate or violent.

But it doesn't mean that Rondell can't genuinely be this way, and it doesn't mean its Rondell's fault, or the fault of his race.

We can't allow literature to ignore the truth of an individual's experience, nor can we ignore the systemic oppression that impacts some populations more than others.

Let's not oversimplify it by calling out the "stereotype" card. Five stars for pushing me to think this through. View all 3 comments.

Dec 23, Julissa rated it really liked it. Yo, this book it is really a journey man. A journey to acceptance and self-recognition. I don't know if it is because I am latina just like Miguel but I felt pretty connected to him, loved his voice and thoughts.

This book is about people who do bad stuff. About guilt. About self-punishment, bitterness. About losing hope, and faith Yo, this book it is really a journey man.

About losing hope, and faith in yourself and the world. About hitting rock-bottom. Getting lost.

And of course finding your way back. Accept things and letting them go I really love this topic, and coming of age stories, the losing and finding yourself ones But this one is quite special, with an unique voice and different story that the ones I'm accustomed.

It is slow, but you get swallowed up pretty fast and in the end you really care for the characters, even the secondary ones.

And I really liked that to me it was a surprised what Miguel did, sometimes though the story I really wanted to know, but at the same time I easily forgot I didn't know because I was so into the what was happening to him at the moment I guess you could say I had the same reaction as Rondo man.

And I really loved that he was writing, I think that writing is such a good way of coping with whatever happens in your life, although he always made very clear he wasn't writing about no feelings and girls shit like that And emotional.

It's also about family, friendship. About Latin-culture. I mean, Miguel is not mexican, he is american and his family from his dad part are mexicans but he didn't feel mexican, but he wasn't completely like every other american kid either.

Deep stuff, feeling like not-belonging anywhere. Like Rondo, would said: Wha'chu mean? I mean I just really enjoyed this.

Jan 11, Phoenix Rises rated it it was amazing Shelves: great-books , young-adult-and-childrens-fiction. This is a terrific book.

It took me a while to finish it because I was reading so many other books, but I found that I would come back to this book at the right times, and could not get away from it not that I wanted to.

This book resonated with me deeply. In the end, I find this book to be both compelling and touching. It made me cry.

The book is about taking responsibility for your actions, but also about learning how to forgive yourself. Miguel is a highly relatable character to me, as he e This is a terrific book.

Miguel is a highly relatable character to me, as he eventually comes to the conclusion that to be a writer, one must be like Alice Walker who wrote The Color Purple and just write it all down, no matter how hard and painful it is, and make that connection with others via writing.

I find that to be a beautiful theme that was well encapsulated by this book. The book itself has many modern influences, such as Catcher in the Rye and Of Mice and Men books referenced in the text as Miguel's reading material , books that tell necessarily heartbreaking stories but with a huge degree of sensitivity and heart.

I find myself drawn to this book because of how well it told this story, of how the book makes you feel like you need to read this story.

Miguel himself is a fascinating character that doesn't shy away from telling the truth, but paradoxically, clearly struggles through the entire book to come to terms with his past and express himself fully: Such is the plight of the writer, it would seem, to be bold and honest but also sensitive to one's own feelings, past, heritage, and destiny.

I highly recommend this book. It is a book of honesty and hope that is much needed in our culture, a raw and unflinching coming of age tale.

Jul 31, Abby rated it it was ok Shelves: teen. Reviewed for work, but this review reflects my personal, not professional opinion, of this book.

We Were Here is the journal of Miguel Castenada, who has been sent to live in a group home for something terrible that he did -- something so terrible he can't even think about it, let alone talk about what happened with anyone else.

Of course, any reader who has read a few "troubled teen" books will be able to pretty much figure out what happened after reading less than 30 pages of this book.

At t Reviewed for work, but this review reflects my personal, not professional opinion, of this book. At the home he meets Mong, a scrawny Chinese teen who may or may not be psychotic, who manages to convince Miguel, along with Rondell, a developmentally disabled black teen whom Miguel first met in juvie, to run away with him to Mexico.

The three take off, heading down the California coast on a journey that takes more than one unexpected turn and leads Miguel to places he never thought he'd travel.

I had VERY mixed feelings while reading this book. Miguel is a great character with an extremely compelling voice.

Unfortunately, not all of de le Pena's characters are as fully realized as Miguel. I was deeply troubled by the author's characterization of Rondell -- who literally embodies almost every single negative stereotype associated with African Americans in our culture.

I think de la Pena does strive to make Rondell a sympathetic and likeable character, for whom Miguel grows to feel real respect and affection by the end of the book.

But the fact that he is likeable doesn't outweigh the fact that his character is first defined and continues to be characterized by these negative traits that have a particularly racialized and very fraught history.

Beyond that issue, which pretty much colored my feelings about the entire book, I found some of the later plot developments rather unbelievable and hokey.

Despite these reservations, I will probably recommend this book to some teens -- see my professional review for more on that.

Apr 27, Sarah Donovan rated it really liked it. For upper middle and high school readers, especially boys. It's about regret, accidents, forgiveness, friendship, acceptance, remembering, resilience.

The story is the journey of three boys who escaped a group home but find their own path into the past to heal. Sep 26, Beth Honeycutt rated it really liked it.

I feel like I'm late to the party for this book. Pretty intense but worth the read. Jul 26, Kim Tomsic rated it it was amazing Shelves: ya-read.

The boys, Miguel, Rondell and Mong, begin their relationship with spit and fists flying. But somehow this group of teens form an unlikely team and escape their group home to make a daring dash to Mexico.

Along their journey of pain, humor, rejection, adventure, love and brutality they find friendship as well as some redeeming value in life. It reminded me of a YA version of the movie Pulp Fiction, both disturbing and hilarious.

I laughed, I cried, I Googled the author. I had to know more. This book had such a hold on me after I read the last page that I was reluctant to open my next novel because I knew that would mean the experience I just invested my heart in with Miguel, Rondell, and Mong would fade.

Here's what I learned. Jan 30, bjneary rated it it was amazing Shelves: realistic-fiction , ya , multicultural-fiction , kindle. A great pick for our Februrary book discussion this month with my librarian friends!

Miguel is in juvi for a crime he doesn't reveal but he is totally guilt ridden about. He gets into an argument with Mong, an Asian with a severely scarred face, many other problems and health issuesscary, scary kid.

When Rondell arrives; Miguel already knows him there is more of a flow to his daily life. Miguel reads lots of books, records in his journal judge's orders hangs out with and makes fun of Rondell.

It is when Mong breaks them out to escape to Mexico and get jobs, that life totally changes for the three escapees.

Miguel acts hardcore but he is hiding a lot behind his Mexican bravado. As they travel and hide to Mexico, there will be life lessons Miguel and Mong and Rondell work through as they come to terms with themselves, family, and their place in the world.

A riveting, adventure with Miguel and friends. Reluctant readers and teens who enjoy urban fiction will relate to all three characters and their dilemmas.

Mar 22, Mariah Allie rated it it was amazing. I think this was an awesome book. The details really made me interested in reading more and more.

I always wanted to read this book. It was about a boy named Miguel who got sent to Juvy for doing a "really bad thing" which tore his family apart and made his mother hate him.

Eventually his mother sent him to a group home for "rehab" and to think about what he did. At that group home he met some people for who he spent most of his time with there before he snuck out.

Something else I really enjoye I think this was an awesome book. Something else I really enjoyed about this book was that it was intense because it didn't tell you what he did until the end of the story which made me personally very excited.

I would recommend this book to people who like mysterious stories because trying to figure out for yourself what "bad thing" he did was fun.

Feb 21, Alex rated it it was amazing. This book is both gripping and disturbing in a way. It reveals the characters and details about them slowly, but this just makes you want to read the book even more, and see what happens.

He likes to hide details about characters in small or unimportant moments. The story is an exciting journey, and you need to pay attention to some moments, or even big moments can hide some important little things that can This book is both gripping and disturbing in a way.

The story is an exciting journey, and you need to pay attention to some moments, or even big moments can hide some important little things that can help you analyze or understand the story or its characters.

This novel is very sad, but the author still manages to slip in quite a bit of humor, and he talks about serious problems in a lighter way.

Overall this book is completely worth your time, and the ending will definitely make you feel differently about the characters and maybe even the world around you.

Feb 21, Nico L. This book is amazing!!!! I love how it's slow paced and fast paced at once. SO here's my updated review on this book.

He is supposed to write in it during his time in a group home. Let's get started with the characters. Oh my God, the characters. I loved reading this book because I felt like I was Miguel.

I love that this was pieced to SO here's my updated review on this book. I love that this was pieced together as his journal for the group home.

It wasn't just journal entries either; Miguel has little snippets throughout his journal, like "Ways to Escape your Mind in a Group Home".

This tiny portions strewn into the journal entries give greater context into his situation, who Miguel is, and so on. Additionally, each of the characters has great depth.

Miguel is figuring out his biracial identity; his father and his family from Mexico, his mother is a white woman. He feel disconnected from his grandfather, who speaks no English, but he also doesn't pass for white.

On top of that, he's figuring out who he is, his family after what he's done, and he's struggling with forgiving himself. He's in such a mess, and he feels real when you read his entries.

Furthermore, Mong and Rondell are incredible. There are a few moments in the book where I definitely cried - I'm a pretty easy crier, though, so that's something to consider.

I don't want to spoil too much about these two characters because, honestly, their stories are my favorite I love Rondell - with two l's.

But believe me, they're heartbreaking, realistic, moving, everything. There isn't much that I found wrong with the book. The only thing that irked me was it seemed like everything was a bit rushed at the end of the story, but a lot of strings seemed left untied.

It would have been really cool to see a little more interaction - or even reflection - on Miguel's mom, or maybe some growth from Jaden he was always too bro-ish for me, even toward the end of the book It's the minute details, yes, but it makes a difference!

It's a very moving read, the characters are so vivid and real, and the story is just incredible. I don't want to give too much away, so again View 2 comments.

May 16, Laura rated it it was amazing Shelves: modern-realistic , young-adult , latin-american. It was the second time I'd heard the author, Matt de la Pena , speak.

I love his back story! And I loved this story. I really felt for Miguel even though I figured out his deep dark secret entirely too early in the story.

It's a great coming-of-age story, especially appealing to the urban gang-banger wannabe. I'm just not sure if putting it on the "Mature" shelf of my classroom is going to be enough.

The cussing was deplorable but I can overlook it for the lure of the story on my reluctant readers. I'm really more worried that parents may complain about the below the waistline action.

I'm really hoping that my students are less experienced than Miguel. I'm going to check with the school librarian before I put it out in the classroom.

If it's not appropriate for students in middle school, I'll have to pass it on to some high school student. May 10, Guadalupe Ramirez rated it really liked it Shelves: spring I wasn't expecting to like this book much because at first the characters seemed so stereotypical.

I heard the "Mexican" in Miguel's voice, and the "Black" in Rondell. On and off throughout the book, I wondered what a Black student might think reading it- the over the top religious simpleton might be offensive.

I was moved by the scene where Miguel discovers their files, reads their history family, academic, criminal and then gets rid of them.

A tough book with enough foul language and hopelessness to make me careful about recommending it--but Miguel is able to man up in the end, and hope is restored with reality.

Sep 07, Wendy Wallflower rated it really liked it Shelves: Apr 05, The Dusty Jacket rated it it was amazing Shelves: young-adult-fiction.

I try not to do it too much because my head mostly gets stuck on bad stuff, but this time something good actually happened: the judge only gave me a year in a group home.

Said I had to write in a journal so some counselor could try to figure out how I think. So when he gave out my sentence it was almost "I can sometimes make stuff happen just by thinking about it.

Just be a ghost—invisible and non-existent. That plan was changed when he was assigned to share his room with Rondell, a big black kid that was once his cellmate in Juvi.

And then there was Mong, a skinny, tough, and silent Chinese dude with scars on his cheeks and a psycho smile. Suddenly a year seemed a whole lot longer.

And then one night, Mong asked Miguel to escape with him to Mexico. Maybe a new start away from California is just what he needed. The author introduces us to kids like Miguel, Mong, Rondell, and others who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law for one reason or another.

Each has their own story and shows us how one wrong decision or personal tragedy can set off a series of events that ultimately lands them in a group home, juvenile detention, or jail.

We get to meet these kids and understand that many are more than the sum of their parts and just need what Miguel so urgently desires—a second chance.

Narrated by Miguel through a series of personal journal entries, this story demonstrates just how far the bands of friendship can be stretched without breaking and the value of choosing loyalty over personal desire.

Mar 19, Courtney rated it it was amazing. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here.

This review ain't really gonna do this book justice but I'll try. I had the pleasure of meeting the author recently at a community literacy event.

He told the kids this was probably his favorite book he had written. Likewise most the kids said it was their favorite. Now I understand why.

It's an odyssey story of sorts about three kids in a juvie group home who decide to break out and go to Mexico. Over time we find out why they were there along with who they really are.

Miguel is the storyteller This review ain't really gonna do this book justice but I'll try. Miguel is the storyteller who also writes in his journal the whole way.

A tough book with enough foul language and hopelessness to make me careful about recommending it--but Miguel is able to man up in the end, and hope is restored with reality.

I try not to do it too much because my head mostly gets stuck on bad stuff, but this time something good actually happened: the judge only gave me a year in a group home.

Said I had to write in a journal so some counselor could try to figure out how I think. So when he gave out my sentence it was almost "I can sometimes make stuff happen just by thinking about it.

Just be a ghost—invisible and non-existent. That plan was changed when he was assigned to share his room with Rondell, a big black kid that was once his cellmate in Juvi.

And then there was Mong, a skinny, tough, and silent Chinese dude with scars on his cheeks and a psycho smile. Suddenly a year seemed a whole lot longer.

And then one night, Mong asked Miguel to escape with him to Mexico. Maybe a new start away from California is just what he needed. The author introduces us to kids like Miguel, Mong, Rondell, and others who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law for one reason or another.

Each has their own story and shows us how one wrong decision or personal tragedy can set off a series of events that ultimately lands them in a group home, juvenile detention, or jail.

We get to meet these kids and understand that many are more than the sum of their parts and just need what Miguel so urgently desires—a second chance.

Narrated by Miguel through a series of personal journal entries, this story demonstrates just how far the bands of friendship can be stretched without breaking and the value of choosing loyalty over personal desire.

He told the kids this was probably his favorite book he had written. Likewise most the kids said it was their favorite. Now I understand why.

It's an odyssey story of sorts about three kids in a juvie group home who decide to break out and go to Mexico. Over time we find out why they were there along with who they really are.

Miguel is the storyteller This review ain't really gonna do this book justice but I'll try. Miguel is the storyteller who also writes in his journal the whole way.

He doesn't let us in until he end. Rondell with 2 "ls" is my personal favorite. There's a bit of Lenny in him from Of Mice and Men even though he's an overgrown black kid with an innocent soul, small IQ and fierce need to protect Miguel whom he playfully calls "Mexico.

He's violent and a bit crazy but, come to find out, extremely intelligent and hiding quite a few serious things.

I don't want to give much away about the plot but if you liked The Outsiders as a kid this one is gonna blow you away. I loved these boys and despite some choices they make I found myself cheering for them all the way.

It's a great all ages tale of redemption, friendship, family and accountability. May 21, Shannon rated it liked it. This is a sad book.

Teen age Miguel has landed in a group home after spending some time in juvenile hall. He has a chip on his shoulder and the complete inability to admit to his crime - although the reader is always aware it has something to do with Miguel's older brother, Diego.

Once at the group home, a kind of psycho kid, Mong, asks Miguel to break out of the home and take off to Mexico, where they will supposedly become fishermen.

Miguel's room mate, a tall, illiterate black kid named Ronde This is a sad book. Miguel's room mate, a tall, illiterate black kid named Rondell, also comes along.

Originally, Mong's cousin says she'll drive them to Mexico; but really, she is trying to get Mong to go see his grandfather.

So the boys take off on their own - convinced they can walk down the California coastline all of the way to Mexico.

Many adventures ensue -- but, the back stories are brutal and sad. All three boys come from dysfunctional families that contain varying amounts of heartbreak.

They become broke and homeless. Although they are outwardly falling apart, Miguel knows in his heart that he must do the time for his crime.

These characters will remind you that some kids lead very fucked up lives and it is not usually their fault. Apr 09, Reese B rated it it was amazing.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. I enjoyed every part of the story and felt there was never dull moment.

I'm not sure what else to say about it. I just found the book amazing. I loved how Miguel developed his thoughts and ideas throughout the story with help from Mong and even Rondell.

While reading I like try to predict what might happen next in a story. In this book was always surprised. I could never tell what would happen.

Overall if you cant already tell I absolutely love this book. May 02, Keyona rated it really liked it.

There is nothing mainstream about this book yet the story and characters are totally relatable. Oct 19, Allison Church rated it liked it. Not as powerful as the others I've read lately, but holds it's own.

I wouldn't necessarily choose to pick this up again because some of the descriptions grossed me out a bit. But overall the story was an uplifting and hopeful one in the end.

Apr 10, Myles Messner rated it liked it. Matt tells the story of a trouble making teenager named Miguel in the story We Were Here. Miguel is smart with a good heart, but he struggles to make the right decisions.

After committing a crime, the Judge decides to send Miguel to a group home for a year. Miguel also has to write in a personal journal for a year so his counselor can try to understand what he is thinking.

Little does the judge know, sending Miguel to a group home was doing him a favor. Miguel's mom couldn't even look him in th Matt tells the story of a trouble making teenager named Miguel in the story We Were Here.

Miguel's mom couldn't even look him in the eyes and he felt awful. Will Miguel turn his life around and stop making decisions that could potentially ruin his life?

I really got to learn about Miguels thoughts and observations of the world he lives in and experiences on his journeys with Mong and Rondell.

I feel that I never got hooked onto reading this story. The author really pushed for the characters to see the true side of Miguel but it was hard after hearing all of the awful things he has done.

He obviously intended that for modern teenagers to understand and read but I thought it was very overused and got annoying.

The author sent out many themes from this story. He shows this because Miguel starts off the story as a convict but as the reader keeps moving on they surely realize the true side to him.

Matt truly showed that anybody can make a change in their life no matter what they're going through. Overall, I rated this book 3. I enjoyed reading this book because Miguel and his friends are around the same age as me.

While reading, I tried to imagine that I was in their shoes, living their lives, and I couldn't imagine it.

I would recommend this book to a highschool student to adult who likes to read about disobedient children with hard a hard childhood.

Personally, I would not recommend this book to a classmate of mine. I didn't think the story flowed well and I don't think a friend of mine would enjoy it.

Jun 02, Jack Y. A judge put Miguel in a juvenile home after a terrible crime, and sentenced him to write his thoughts in a journal so the counselor could figure out how his mind worked.

On his journey he met new friends along the way, and those friends pressured him to escape from the juvenile home. Miguel decided that he could start a new life in Mexico and forget everything that happened.

The ideas that the author was trying to convey to us are the main themes that many face in life. With the surprise twist at the end of the novel of how Miguel first got into the Juvenile home, bits and pieces of flashbacks foreshadowed his crime which made the novel extremely exciting.

My recommendation of this novel would be to the average American or to someone who is struggling in life. View 1 comment.

One day he's living with his mom and brother, Diego, in their Stockton California home and the next he's in a group home with a bunch of stupid guys and a surfer dude counselor, Jaden, who keeps trying to talk to him about what happened.

But Miguel can't talk about what happened. Not with Jaden; not with anyone. After getting in a fight with the skinny, bald dude named Mong, Miguel decides to steer "Your whole life, man, it can change in one minute.

After getting in a fight with the skinny, bald dude named Mong, Miguel decides to steer clear of everyone in the house.

He is completely and utterly alone. When he awakes one night to find Mong standing over his bed, Miguel is surprised by Mong's request.

He wants Miguel to run away with him to Mexico. At first Miguel is hesitant, but he soon realizes he has nothing to live for anymore, and therefore nothing to lose.

Miguel's roommate, Rondell, joins their motley crew of fugitives. You've done something awful. Even though Miguel, Mong and Rondell are considered criminals, the circumstances they've had to face are more difficult than most people would deal with in a lifetime.

It was difficult for me to get into the book at first, but as time went on, I found myself drawn in deeper and deeper into Miguel's world.

He is a complex character though I found his voice inconsistent at times who has done a horrible thing but is not a horrible person-although he doesn't figure this out until the end of the book.

We Were Here is about mistakes, consequences, and, ultimately, forgiveness. Feb 07, Clara rated it it was amazing. The main character of this story is a teenage boy named Miguel.

He lived with his family which was his mom and his brother Diego, his dad died fighting in the army. The book takes place mainly in California most of the time, and a time period of about two months.

The main idea or conflict in this book is that Miguel did something really bad he had to go to Juvi, and then to a group home, and during all this he was supposed to wrote a journal to keep track of his thoughts.

While in this group hom The main character of this story is a teenage boy named Miguel. While in this group home he meets two boys, Rondell and Mong.

The three boys decide to break out of the group home one night and Miguel steals a package of money from their councilor.

So they break out and their plan is to go travel down the coast of California to Mexico, and maybe start their lives over.

One thing I liked about the book is that it always says that Miguel did something really bad, but it never states clearly what he did, until the end of the book.

Another thing I liked is that the book was in like a journal form, and so it was all of Miguel's thoughts and events that happened and his past and everything, so it was really deep.

One thing I didn't like is that, Mong was sick and had kidney problems but he wouldn't tell Miguel or Rondell what was wrong or how they could get him help.

That was frustrating. Lastly, I would recommend this book to teens that like books with a lot of emotion and meaning, that can connect to other teens' lives.
