Juan and Juan

This realistic fiction book is geared for midgrades and explores racial identity as well as the quest for the father. All of that is combined with a touch of multiculturalism and spiced with some math. Definitely "Juan and Juan" has an educational vocation whose reading can be enjoyed both in social studies and math. The story taps on identity quest and family values, and it could be a reflection on the kind of multiethnic society that the USA and other Western countries seem to be becoming.
