A poignant, hilarious, and unforgettable graphic memoir about a Mexican-American boy's family.

"This is one of those books that kids will pass to their friends as soon as they have finished it."

—Victoria Jamieson, creator of National Book Award Finalist When Stars Are Scattered

★ "Full of humor, heart, and a decent amount of gross-out moments, Martín's coming-of-age memoir hits all the right notes . . . the struggles with establishing identity, especially as a child of immigrants whose identity straddles two cultures, feel as current as ever... A retro yet timeless story of family and identity."

—Kirkus, starred review

★ "There's much to savor here, from the thoughtful exploration of bicultural identity to the good-natured snarky teasing of siblings to pivotal moments of growth amid guileless kidhood. It's a tightrope balancing act of antic humor and genuine pathos, and Martín pulls it off with tremendous flair."

—Booklist, starred review

"An always entertaining story about the trials and joys of family."

—School Library Journal

"Mexikid is a delightful story packed with family history, culture, closeness . . . and a Winnebago full of laughs."

—Terri Libenson, New York Times bestselling author of Emmie & Friends series
