Overview
Pedro/Peter Martín es un Mexikid, o un niño que nació en Estados Unidos de padres mexicanos: un niño que no pertenece a ninguno de los dos lugares.
Así que no sabe qué pensar cuando su padre anuncia que toda la familia (¡11 personas!) se apretará dentro del Winnebago para manejar 2,000 millas hasta México con una misión: traer a su misterioso abuelito de la era de la Revolución Mexicana a vivir con ellos.
Esta divertidísima memoria gráfica es la historia de un Mexikid en busca de su grito... en el viaje más importante de su vida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A poignant, hilarious, and 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.
Pedro/Peter Martín 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.
