Hector’s father used to be a boxing champion and he taught
Hector how to fight. His mom, however, doesn’t want him to fight. Dad’s not
really around and is an alcoholic. Wanting to train for his first amateur
fight, he goes against mom’s wishes and seeks out a dojo to help himself
further his skill. Will Hector succeed or will his desires ruin his
relationship with his mom?
Reluctant reader boys will connect with the realistic
characters and well-written plot. Great for fans of fighting, family problems,
and realistic fiction. MS, HS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library
