Prodigal

Ricardo Lira Acuña

In the tradition of J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Prodigal follows Ray Mundo, a brilliant but out-of-place Mexican-American teenager, who lands a scholarship to an elite prep school, where he must navigate privilege, temptation, and identity struggles while risking everything--including his future--for a shot at the American Dream.
