Reviews" 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 " Mexikid is poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, and masterfully weaves road trip misadventures with history and family legacies. 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. The vibrant, action-packed panels offer plentiful details for readers to pore over, from scenes of crowded family chaos to the sights of Mexico. 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 "Martín's memoir is an unpredictable fusion of humorous and reflective moments in his early life that gives fascinating insights into his family's many stories while hinting at larger cultural questions and histories . . . The story's art is vibrant . . . An always entertaining story about the trials and joys of family." -- School Library Journal "Not only is this a story of family love and discovery, but also a great look back at the 70's and its music, technology, movies, and TV shows . . . Highlights include the author's recounting of the past stories he heard about his grandfather fighting in the revolution, the real-life photos of Martín's family, and several pages of questions and answers about his life. Naturally many of the phrases are in Spanish, some with translations. The art is wonderfully drawn, realistic, flows smoothly, and the use of color to show emotion gives the reader a full understanding of the events." -- School Library Connection "This was such a fun memoir. The illustrations were spot-on and the family hilarious and loving. This is really a life-is-stranger-than-fiction book filled with adventure, discovery, unforgettable people, hijinks, crazy haircuts, and real-life superheroes. A wonderful summer read for kids (and adults!) of all ages." --Nicole Miller, Barbara's Books bookseller "This coming-of-age, middle grade memoir was laugh-out-loud funny and touching. Pedro Martin does a fantastic job of showing the struggle of trying to bridge his Mexican and American worlds together--particularly that of his own generation and his legendary grandfathers. Excellent illustrations and very engaging." --Lucy Corona, Hicklebee's bookseller, " 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 " Mexikid is poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, and masterfully weaves road trip misadventures with history and family legacies.

Though the family's travels took place decades ago, the struggles with establishing identity, especially as a child of immigrants whose identity straddles two cultures, feel as current as ever. The vibrant, action-packed panels offer plentiful details for readers to pore over, from scenes of crowded family chaos to the sights of Mexico.
