Student Review:
This suspenseful book follows Trino on his journey to realize that family has more value than friends. In the beginning Trino hangs out with a gang, trouble kids, he became really close and attached to them. On the other hand his mom is a single mom and she has 4 boys to feed and take care of. She works all the time to get money for her boys while Trino spends the money with his gang in the arcade. Trino realizes what he can do to help himself and to improve he makes a big choice and it changes his life and his family's life. The suspense will keep you reading and will keep you interested. Read Trino's Choice to figure out the choice and how he changed his life. –Habiba F., 8th grade 16-17
