What They're Saying
Critics Review
“His story is heartbreaking and hopeful and needs to be told.”
—Booklist
“This is a stunner.”
—Publishers Weekly [starred review]
“Manuel’s account is both heart-wrenching and uplifting…. Manuel vividly captures the terror of an adolescent thrust into adult incarceration and the added trauma of solitary confinement. He portrays the prison bureaucracy as arbitrary in its amplification of punitive measures, including routine beatings and tear-gassings… A disturbing, vital, necessary eyewitness addition to debates about the mass incarceration epidemic in the U.S.”
—Kirkus Reviews
