Summer on Wheels

Hector and his friend Mando embark on an adventurous bike trip from East L.A. to Santa Monica, where their journey takes unexpected turns, including Hector landing a role in a TV commercial and being celebrated as the millionth fan at a Dodger game. Along the way, they create a rap song, paint a mural, and humorously pretend to be wax figures at a museum, all while meeting colorful characters like their cousin Bentley and a girl with Olympic dreams. In this engaging sequel to "Crazy Weekend," Gary Soto blends humor and warmth to explore the bonds of friendship and family.
