Newbery Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Matt de la Pe a's Mexican WhiteBoy is a story of friendship, acceptance, and the struggle to find your identity in a world of definitions.

Danny is tall and skinny. Even though he's not built, his arms are long enough to give his pitch a power so fierce any college scout would sign him on the spot. Ninety-five mile an hour fastball, but the boy's not even on a team. Every time he gets up on the mound, he loses it.

But at his private school, they don't expect much else from him. Danny is brown. Half-Mexican brown. And growing up in San Diego that close to the border means everyone else knows exactly who he is before he even opens his mouth. Before they find out he can't speak Spanish, and before they realize his mom has blond hair and blue eyes, they've got him pegged. But it works the other way too. And Danny's convinced it's his whiteness that sent his father back to Mexico.

That's why he's spending the summer with his dad's family. But to find himself, he may just have to face the demons he refuses to see--the demons that are right in front of his face. And open up to a friendship he never saw coming.

Matt de la Pe a's critically acclaimed novel is an intimate and moving story that offers hope to those who least expect it.

" A] first-rate exploration of self-identity." --SLJ

"Unique in its gritty realism and honest portrayal of the complexities of life for inner-city teens...de la Pe a poignantly conveys the message that, despite obstacles, you must believe in yourself and shape your own future." --The Horn Book Magazine

"The baseball scenes...sizzle like Danny's fastball. Danny's struggle to find his place will speak strongly to all teens, but especially to those of mixed race." --Booklist

"De la Pe a blends sports and street together in a satisfying search for personal identity." --Kirkus Reviews

"Mexican WhiteBoy...shows that no matter what obstacles you face, you can still reach your dreams with a positive attitude. This is more than a book about a baseball player--this is a book about life." --Curtis Granderson, New York Mets outfielder

Functional
I used to get cuts when using regular razors but ever since I switched to this electric razor, I no longer have to worry about getting hurt. The blade is extremely sharp yet gentle and provides a smooth shave on my face, legs, underarms and other areas without any pain. The waterproof feature makes cleaning easy. I can simply rinse it under the tap. The rechargeable design is also very convenient. It's small and portable easy to take on business trips and travels! The shaver glides smoothly on underarms and the detailer head gives perfect shaping for bikini lines. Fully waterproof for shower use and the self cleaning blades rinse effortlessly.

A little drying but amazing
First thing to note is this is a soap, not a cleansing bar, so it WILL dry you out if you use it too much. but the smell is irresistible, and it definitely conditions your skin well. I wouldn't say it has a slimy texture like advertised, but it is still really pleasant and the foam is so rich with herbal aromas. Definitely not a good value for the money, but I consider this like a luxury splurge soap bar for when I want to treat my senses rather than a daily driver cleanser bar.

Unfortunately, it has an unpleasant scent
I read the reviews and a few mentioned they were not fond of the scent. I decided to give it a try since I liked the ingredients and it seemed like it would compliment my skin type. Yes, unfortunately the scent is just way too much for me. I did not open the item or use it. Upon opening the Amazon shipping bag, I could smell it. I decided to return it. I'm disappointed, because it might be a great product. I do not want to put the brand or product down since I was unable to try it. The scent is just not for me.
