An unforgettable graphic memoir about a Mexican-American boy’s family and their adventure-filled road trip to bring their abuelito back from Mexico to live with them that National Book Award Finalist Victoria Jamieson calls “one of those books that kids will pass to their friends as soon as they have finished it.”
Pedro Martin has grown up hearing stories about his abuelito—his legendary crime-fighting, grandfather who was once a part of the Mexican Revolution! But that doesn't mean Pedro is excited at the news that Abuelito is coming to live with their family. After all, Pedro has 8 brothers and sisters and the house is crowded enough! Still, Pedro piles into the Winnebago with his family for a road trip to Mexico to bring Abuelito home, and what follows is the trip of a lifetime, one filled with laughs and heartache. Along the way, Pedro finally connects with his abuelito and learns what it means to grow up and find his grito.
Pedro Martín creció escuchando historias sobre su abuelito, ¡su legendario abuelo, luchador contra el crimen, que formó parte de la Revolución Mexicana! Pero eso no significa que Pedro esté emocionado con la noticia de que Abuelito viene a vivir con su familia. Después de todo, Pedro tiene ocho hermanos y hermanas, ¡y la casa ya está bastante llena! Aun así, Pedro se amontona en la Winnebago con su familia para emprender un viaje por carretera a México para traer a Abuelito a casa, y lo que sigue es el viaje de su vida, lleno de risas y de tristeza. En el camino, Pedro finalmente conecta con su abuelito y aprende lo que significa crecer y encontrar su grito.
