The X-treme Sportz catalog in the back pocket of my jeans was folded open to the page I planned to show my parents, if I ever got the chance to talk. All through dinner, Mom had been going on and on about the big reunion her family held every July, and how she hoped we could go this year. (from the first line)

Praise
Kirkus Reviews
"Suspense and romance keep the story going, at the same time that DeFelice conveys the vital work of migrant workers in US agriculture and draws attention to problems with immigration policies." 03/15/2003 Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"It would take a thick-skinned adolescent indeed to miss the shrieking message of the value of a buck, and this title's pleasures come not from the predictable trajectory of the message-driven plot but from those revelatory moments in which the spoiled teen weighs the value of his vacuous buddies against the hard-earned money and the even harder-earned respect he's beginning to gain among the Mexican workers." - Elizabeth Bush May 2003
