Newbery Award-winning author Matt de la Peña's We Were Here is a "fast, funny, smart, and heartbreaking" novel [Booklist].

   When it happened, Miguel was sent to Juvi. The judge gave him a year in a group home--said he had to write in a journal so some counselor could try to figure out how he thinks. The judge had no idea that he actually did Miguel a favor. Ever since it happened, his mom can't even look at him in the face. Any home besides his would be a better place to live.
    But Miguel didn't bet on meeting Rondell or Mong or on any of what happened after they broke out. He only thought about Mexico and getting to the border to where he could start over. Forget his mom. Forget his brother. Forget himself.
    Life usually doesn' t work out how you think it will, though. And most of the time, running away is the quickest path right back to what you're running from.
   From the streets of Stockton to the beaches of Venice, all the way to the Mexican border, We Were Here follows a journey of self-discovery by a boy who is trying to forgive himself in an unforgiving world.

One Boy's Journey to Find His Place in the Galaxy

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...a geek was born. So begins Tony Pacitti's own dorkily moving Jedi journey. In this hilarious and heartfelt memoir, Pacitti shows how "Star Wars" has served as a source of comfort, guidance, and wisdom in his life. From that very first swell of John Williams' score, he takes "Star Wars" as his moral compass, his mentor, even his psychologist. For every real-life situation - from winning friends and influencing people to finding his own Princess Leia - the epic film offers Pacitti a blueprint for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And just when it looks like the Empire will be safe from the Dark Side forever, George Lucas produces his new trilogy of prequels. Bloody but unbowed, Pacitti puts aside the tragic specter of Jar Jar Binks and recaptures his original Star Wars wonder. With the sense of humor of Hans Solo, the will power of Luke Skywalker, and the wisdom of a (much younger) Yoda, Pacitti uses the Force to follow his bliss, overcome obstacles, and live a life worthy of a Jedi knight, endearing "Star Wars" fans everywhere in the process! AUTHOR: Tony Pacitti was only a few months old when his parents took him to a drive-in to see Star Wars for the first time, reconfiguring his freshly written DNA and creating a full-blooded Star Wars nut. His youth was spent pouring over all things geeky and though his parents were devout Trekkies, he chose to focus almost singularly on Star Wars. Currently he is the writer for the online comics RoboPlanet and The Silencer at Pandemonium Comics. *
