Well when I was reading "Mexican Whiteboy" what I found interesting were the characters. First of all Danny, the main character is a half mexican boy who is really skinny and really tall. He isn't very strong but he can throw a baseball harder than some major leaguers. There is also Uno, who is half mexican and half black. Danny and Uno started off enemies and then practicing baseball brought them to be best friends. They try to save money so they Uno can go live with his dad, and Danny who can see his dad for the first time in years. They use baseball to hustle some kids from different schools. What I find interesting is the way baseball is used in this book and the dynamic characters.
