About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 6- 8 ;Rosendo, 14, has what might sound like a typical problem for adolescents ;issues with the development of his vocal chords. His voice is particularly high-pitched due to a medical condition that is never really explained. When an older boy at school selects him as a target, an agonizing story of secretive bullying begins, one that will have readers sympathizing with Rosendo's humiliation. The emotionally redemptive ending is left to the very last pages, with a resolution that comes from an unexpected source and leaves readers feeling satisfied. Carreras de Sosa shines a different light on bullying, unmasking its abusive nature and showing the circular role that self-esteem plays in both creating, and stopping, this manipulative behavior. ;Erica Kindrick, Bilingual Storyteller, Yolo County Library, CA (c) Copyright 2010.  Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
