This book has many others following to this one, Border
Town; Quince clashes. The book I’m reading was the second book to come out,
while I was reading it I had no clue that there was more than one book. The
books that follow Quince Clash are Border Town#3: Falling to Fast, BorderTown#4: No Second Chances, and the first book Border Town#1: Crossing the line.
All these books relate because they all have the same plot, young girl falls in
love with a boy and drama happens with in family and friends in school.
This book is about a girl named Fabiola, whos family isn’t
the wealthiest but tries to provide the best they can for each other. Fabi has
always been bullied by a girl named Melodee and she made a bet in front of the
whole school which is whoever has the best quince wins, but theresa twist to it
who ever loses has to shave their head. Fabi’s dream was to go to New York but
with their income it wasn’t possible at the time. With their income being so
low Fabiolas mom was going to throw the best quince she could, but her grandma
and her cousin decided to write to a Tv show where they pay for someone's
quince and make their dream quince in to reality. It was a very low chance for
Fabi to get chosen, but her family did whatever they had to do to make sure
Fabi won the bet.
I liked this book a lot because not only can I relate to
things that happen but also the things their family/friends do for each other
out of love is so beautiful. Fabi’s grandma and cousin took a big risk knowing
if the truth got out it could ruin everything. I feel like this book was
written more for the youth but also the older audience would enjoy it as well
because situations like these happen all the time and some mean a more to the
youth when our parents might think it’s silly. I really suggest you read this
book, it gives you childhood memories and also shows about the latino culture.
