"TEEN ONE BOOK"
Join teens throughout North Central Washington in reading
"Mexican WhiteBoy" by author Matt de la Peña.
In August of 2008 Matt de la Peña's second novel, Mexican WhiteBoy,
was released by Delacorte, and his short story Last Red Light Before We’re
There appeared in the anthology Does This Book Make Me Look Fat.
His third novel, We Were Here, will be published by Delacorte on
October 13, 2009.
He has also published short fiction in various literary journals, including:
Pacific Review, The Vincent Brothers Review, Chiricú, Two Girl’s Review,
George Mason Review, and Allegheny Literary Review.
Matt received his MFA in creative writing from San Diego State
University and his BA from the University of the Pacific, where he
attended school on a full athletic scholarship for basketball.
Matt characterizes his journey from his love of basketball to his career
as a writer in this way — "No matter how far I move away from the
game, into this new life as an author, no matter what strange direction
my literary interests lead me in next, or where I go, or who I meet, I
will always carry the game of basketball in my chest. This game was
my best friend growing up. It was my confidant. My passion. My
ticket to college, to education, to books and words, the rhythms of
poetry."
Matt de la Peña currently lives in Brooklyn, NY, where he teaches
creative writing.
The Novel:
* An ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults (TOP 10 Pick)
* 2008 Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Blue Ribbon List
* 2009 Notable Books for a Global Society
* 2009-2010 Texas TAYSHAS Reading list
Danny's tall and skinny.
Even though he’s not built, his arms are long enough to give his pitch a power so fierce
any college scout would sign him on the spot. A 95 mph fastball, but the boy’s not even
on a team. Every time he gets up on the mound he loses it.
But at his private school, they don’t expect much else from him. Danny’s brown.
Half-Mexican brown. And growing up in San Diego that close to the border means
everyone else knows exactly who he is before he even opens his mouth. Before they
find out he can’t speak Spanish, and before they realize his mom has blond hair and
blue eyes, they’ve got him pegged.
Danny’s convinced it’s his whiteness that sent his father back to Mexico. And that’s
why he’s spending the summer with his dad’s family. Only, to find himself, he might
just have to face the demons he refuses to see right in front of his face.
Discussion groups for this book will be held in all NCRL branch libraries.
