On the hook / Francisco X. Stork.

Summary:

"Hector has always worked hard and minded his own business. He wants to be captain of his school's chess team, go to college, and help his family make [its] way to a better life someday--until Joey singles him out. Joey, whose older brother Chavo is head of the Disc©Ưpulos gang, tells Hector that he's going to kill him: maybe not today, or tomorrow, but someday. And Hector, frozen with fear, does nothing. From that day forward, Hector's death hangs over his head every time he leaves the house. He tries to fade into the shadows, to drop off Joey's radar, to become no one. But when a fight between Chavo and Hector's brother Fili escalates, Hector is left with no choice but to take a stand"--Provided by publisher.
