Synopsis:

Pulitzer Prize-winning adult author Oscar Hijuelos, best known for MAMBO KINGS PLAY SONGS OF LOVE, ventures into the young adult world with DARK DUDE. Fifteen-year-old Rico Fuentes passes for white even though he's Cuban, and experiences constant harassment in Harlem, where everyone considers him a ‘dark dude' and beats him up. When the crazy chance to run away to Wisconsin comes, Rico sets off, hoping to find some peace. But instead, he finds a whole new kind of racism, and begins to figure out how to make peace with himself no matter where he is. A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2008.
