A pesar de no ser fuerte, sus brazos son lo suficientemente largos como para lanzar un balón de fútbol americano con tanta fuerza, que cualquier cazatalentos lo contrataría sin pensarlo dos veces. Pero Danny ni siquiera es parte de un equipo. Cada vez que se entra en el campo, es como si perdiera sus poderes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePero eso no tiene importancia. No es como si en la escuela privada a la que va esperen mucho de el. Danny es morenito. Y crecer en San Diego, una ciudad tan cercana a la frontera, significa que todo el mundo sabe exactamente quien es, incluso antes de pronunciar una palabra. Antes de saber que Danny no habla español y que su mamá es rubia y de ojos azules, ya todos han formado una impresión de el. Incluso el mismo. De hecho, Danny está convencido de que las discrepancias entre su piel y su cultura han sido la causa de que su padre haya regresado a México.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePor eso pasará el verano con la familia de su papá. Pero para encontrarse a sí mismo, primero tendrá que enfrentarse a los demonios que tanto ha evadido, y tendrá que aceptar abrirse a una amistad jamás imagino que formaría.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNewbery Award-winning and \u003ci\u003eNew York   Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Matt de la Peña's \u003ci\u003eMexican WhiteBoy\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of   friendship, acceptance, and the struggle to find your identity in a world of   definitions.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Danny is tall and skinny. Even though he’s not built, his arms are long   enough to give his pitch a power so fierce any college scout would sign him   on the spot. Ninety-five mile an hour fastball, but the boy’s not even on a   team. Every time he gets up on the mound, he loses it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But at his private school, they don’t expect much else from him. Danny is   brown. Half-Mexican brown. And growing up in San Diego that close to the   border means everyone else knows exactly who he is before he even opens his   mouth. Before they find out he can’t speak Spanish, and before they realize   his mom has blond hair and blue eyes, they’ve got him pegged. But it works   the other way too. And Danny’s convinced it’s his whiteness that sent his   father back to Mexico. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That’s why he’s spending the summer with his dad’s family. But to find   himself, he may just have to face the demons he refuses to see--the demons   that are right in front of his face. And open up to a friendship he never saw   coming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Matt de la Peña's critically acclaimed novel is an intimate and moving   story that offers hope to those who least expect it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAn ALA-YALSA Top Ten Best Book for Young   Adults\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e A Junior Library Guild Selection\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Vintage Español","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44219074150655,"sku":"9780593313138","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780593313138_s600x595.jpg?v=1780336220","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780593313138","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
