Barely Missing Everything By Matt Mendez Cover Image

Barely Missing Everything (Paperback)

By Matt Mendez
$11.99

Raw, gritty and acutely tuned to his community, Matt Mendez' debut blends authenticity with poignancy, heartbreak with heartfelt, this emotionally true contemporary story about 2 El Paso teens and a mom of one of the boys, will keep you riveted and engaged. Comparisons to Jason Reynolds, Matt de la Pena and Angie Thomas are accurate but Mendez is a break out star to be watched. This wallop of a tale should be handed to high school kids en masse.

(YA Fiction, ages 13+) - Reviewed by Maureen
