About this listen

Americas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature

Eddie's father, two uncles, and best friend are all dead, and it's a struggle for him not to end up the same way. Violence makes Fresno wallow in tears, as if a huge onion were buried beneath the city. Making an effort to walk a straight line despite constant temptations and frustrations, Eddie searches for answers—and discovers that his closest friends may actually be his worst enemies.

Includes a listener's guide and a glossary of Spanish words and phrases.

Critic Reviews
