King of Marbles / El Rey de Las Canicas [Multiple Languages]

By mimi luna

Just last week, Víctor was working in the fields with his grandparents in Mexico. Now he's at a cold, unfamiliar school in the United States, where the food taste strange and the other kids aren't exactly friendly. But Víctor carries a secret treasure to help him get through these difficult days: the marbles his grandfather gave him, always safe in his pocket. With them, he will make friends with Jesse--a boy who dreams of becoming an astronaut--and find the courage to stand up to Markus, the school bully. Víctor could even become the King of Marbles! A tender story about learning to adapt, the treasures we carry across distance and the memories that stay with us--shaping who we are wherever we go.
