(2) YA Miguel is sentenced to a group home for his crime (under wraps until story's end). Weary of the setting, he and two housemates break out. As the colorful trio journeys through California, wary distrust gives way to true friendship. Miguel's narrative voice coupled with de la Peña's natural storytelling gifts more than compensate for the occasional glitches in plotting and characterization.
