Synopsis
To be thirteen is worthless, Trino Olivares thinks. Trino has three little brothers he’'s supposed to look after, but no father he can look up to. He rules at video games, but in the classroom, and out in the real world, he'’s barely getting by - just like his mom, who scarcely manages to pay the bills and feed her kids by working all the time.
Trino gets angry when he looks around at his terrible life. But when Rosca, an older teen with a vicious streak, invites him to start hanging with his crowd— - and maybe make some quick money, too— - Trino doesn’'t know what to think. What kind of choices does he have, anyway? To run or die?

From the Inside Flap
Named to the Texas Lone Star Reading List, named "Best Book of the Year" by ForeWord magazine in the Young Adult category, recipient of the Austin Writers’ League Teddy Award for Best Children’s Book, and named Best Young Adult Fiction by the Latino Literary Hall of Fame
"A dramatic and realistic contemporary novel . . . about a Latino boy struggling to grow into manhood and somehow make the right choices in the absence of adult guidance." —Booklist
"Realistic characters and settings meld in a story that is meaningful without being didactic...With the scarcity of young adult fiction with Latino characters, thirteen-year-old Trino is a welcome addition in a book that deserves a sequel." —VOYA
"This is an excellent novel for middle-grade and junior high students...Gonzales Bertrand offers a starkly realistic view of many working-class Mexican Americans, presenting poverty, trailer parks, gangs, single mothers, video games, and missed opportunities." —MultiCultural Review
