Book Description
===================
“You think you’re better than everyone else?
Listen to me, I’m going to kill you.”
Hector has always minded his own business, working hard to make his
way to a better life someday. He’s the chess team
champion, helps the family with his job at the grocery, and teaches
his little sister to shoot hoops overhand.
Until Joey singles him out. Joey, whose older brother, Chavo, is head
of the Discípulos gang, tells Hector that he’s going to kill
him: maybe not today, or tomorrow, but someday. And Hector, frozen
with fear, does nothing. From that day forward, Hector’s
death is hanging over his head every time he leaves the house. He
tries to fade into the shadows - to drop off Joey’s radar - to
become no one.
But when a fight between Chavo and Hector’s brother Fili escalates,
Hector is left with no choice but to take a stand.
The violent confrontation will take Hector places he never expected,
including a reform school where he has to live side-by-side
with his enemy, Joey. It’s up to Hector to choose whether he’s going
to lose himself to revenge or get back to the hard work of
living.
