HAS AN ADVISOR EVER STEERED YOU AWAY FROM A PATH YOU LOVED?

RE-ENACTMENT OF A SCENE FROM MIJO

High school counselor, Mr. Pike, advises Andy, a Latino student, to take auto classes. The counselor says, "Your people love manual jobs and big families." Andy flashes back to the advice his hard-drinking father gave him, "Dont trust counselors, priests, rich people, and politicians!"

Andy tosses the counselor's recommended classes back in his face. The outraged counselor yells out that Andy will become a gang member. In the hallway, Andy tells his friend how he intends to take care of the counselor. Mijo is available on Amazon, PublishAmerica, and wherever books are sold.

WHY READ MIJO?

It's FUNNY! Mijo is surreal, heartfelt, sincere, and irreverent. Mijo about how Andy (Mijo) rose out of the barrio and succeeded, despite discrimination and his weakness for women. It has touching vignettes of life in the barrio with Andy's grandfather, mother, sister, and father. There is a hilarious scene where Andy conned the barrio bully to eat rabbit shit covered in Mexican-chocolate. There is funny chapter where his girlfriend drives home from Arizona in a bullet riddled car that lacks doors, seats, and fenders. Mijo is written in a vivid style which makes it seem like a movie is effortlessly playing out in your head.
