Juan has plans. He's going to get out of El Paso, Texas, on a basketball scholarship and make something of himself-or at least find something better than his mom Fabi's cruddy apartment, her string of loser boyfriends, and a dead dad. Basketball is going to be his ticket out, his ticket up. He just needs to make it happen. His best friend JD has plans, too. He's going to be a filmmaker one day, like Quentin Tarantino or Guillermo del Toro (NOT Steven Spielberg). He's got a camera and he's got passion-what else could he need? Fabi doesn't have a plan anymore. When you get pregnant at sixteen and have been stuck bartending to make ends meet for the past seventeen years, you realize plans don't always pan out, and that there are some things you just can't plan for… Like Juan's run-in with the police, like a sprained ankle, and a tanking math grade that will likely ruin his chance at a scholarship. Like JD causing the implosion of his family. Like letters from a man named Mando on death row. Like finding out this man could be the father your mother said was dead. Soon Juan and JD are embarking on a Thelma and Louise-like road trip to visit Mando. Juan will finally meet his dad, JD has a perfect subject for his documentary, and Fabi is desperate to stop them. But, as we already know, there are some things you just can't plan for… 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Best friends|vFiction. 650 0 Friendship|vFiction. 650 0 Mexican Americans|vFiction. 650 0 Prejudices|vFiction. 650 0 Conduct of life|vFiction. 650 0 Families|zTexas|zEl Paso|vFiction. 700 1 Pabon, Timothy Andrés. 700 1 Farrell, Cynthia. 700 1 Ocampo, Ramon de 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13621596?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ sas_9781508277231_180.jpeg
