Mexican Whiteboy by Matt De La Pena

As a sports fan, I gravitate to human drama stories that touch upon competition and athletics. The author, Matt De La Pena, writes this semi-autobiographical book about Danny, who is half-Mexican, and his struggles with fitting in, whether its the prep high school he attends, or the Mexican side of his family. Danny is a talented baseball pitcher and wrestles with finding balance in his life, and on the baseball mound.
