adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Una verdadera joya escondida, solito es un libro escrito en ingles, con una traducción al español tan hermosa, que cualquier latinoamericano puede identificarse con facilidad, que realidad tan dura y la narrativa desde los ojos de un  niño de 9 años lo hace dinamicoby muy interesante!

ladylofthouse's review against another edition

emotional fast-paced

5.0

Written from the perspective of a 9 year old boy expressed so well all the confusion, anxiety, embarrassment, and excitement from that age. He starts off as a normal kid playing with action figures, but is quickly forced into impossible situations where he still tries to be strong. The journey is treacherous

and the ending had me in actual tears. Also a big shout out to Chino for going above and beyond to be kind and protective.
