About this audiobook
Alberto's life isn't easy: He's an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who lives with his sister's abusive boyfriend-but he'd always accepted his place in the world. Until he starts hearing the voice of a man called Captain America, a voice that wants him to achieve more, no matter the cost.
Grace has it all: She has a supportive boyfriend, she's on track to be valedictorian, and she's sure to go to the college of her dreams. Still, nothing feels right to her any more after the divorce of her parents, and feels she needs something more.
When Alberto and Grace meet, they have an immediate and electric connection. But when Alberto is present at the scene of a terrible crime, he becomes a suspect. And with his developing schizophrenia, he's not even sure he believes in his own innocence.
Can Grace find a way to prove Alberto's innocence to himself and the world?
This is a page-turning thriller and a sensitive story about mental health, love, and community that will appeal to anyone who has struggled with their place in the world, from award-winning author Francisco X. Stork.
Editor's Note
YA mystery…
Alberto, an undocumented Mexican teen working hard to survive in New York, becomes the suspect in a violent crime. Worse, his deteriorating mental health makes it hard for even Alberto to know the truth. Only his friend Grace believes in his innocence and is determined to prove it. Stork (“On the Hook”) explores mental illness, the power of community, and overcoming stigma in this dual-perspective YA mystery.
