This Hollywood is a tough barrio at the edge of a small town in southern New Mexico. Sammy and his friends--members of the 1969 high school graduating class--face a world of racism, dress codes, the war in Vietnam, and barrio violence. In the summer before his senior year begins, Sammy falls in love with Juliana, a girl whose tough veneer disguises a world of hurt. By summer's end, Juliana is dead.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Zach is a senior but he's in rehab instead of high school. He doesn't remember how he got there. Remembering sucks and being alive -- well, what's up with that? I have it in my head that when we're born, God writes things down on our hearts. See, on some people's hearts he writes happy and on some people's hearts he writes sad and on some people's hearts he writes crazy and on some people's hearts he writes genius and on some people's hearts he writes angry and on some people's hearts he writes winner and on some people's hearts he writes loser. It's all like a game to him. Him. God. And it's all pretty much random. He takes out his pen and starts writing on our blank hearts. When it came to my turn, he wrote sad. I don't like God very much. Apparently, he doesn't like me very much either. --Zach Benjamin Alire S enz' new novel is a gift of honesty and poetry and heart. Zach is a beautiful young man who desperately wants to forget the unforgettable. In order to deal with his addiction, he must first deal with his lost childhood.

Thanks to Ben S enz' pitch-perfect writing, Zach will stay in my heart for a long time. --Linda Sue Park.…
