Because he asked for an expensive bike for his birthday, fourteen-year-old Joe Pedersen finds himself working to earn the money alongside the Mexican laborers on his dad's farm. Having found friends among them, Joe helps some illegal workers escape the INS. The situation of guest workers is naturally portrayed, and Joe's choices will win approval from sympathetic readers.
