{"product_id":"the-brothers-torres","title":"The Brothers Torres","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrankie Towers has always looked up to his older brother  Steve  and with good reason. Steve is a popular senior who always gets what he wants: girls  a soccer scholarship  and--lately--street cred. Frankie  on the other hand  spends his time shooting off fireworks with his best friend Zach  working at his parents restaurant  and obsessing about his longtime crush  Rebecca Sanchez.  Frankie has reservations about Steves crusade to win the respect of the local cholos. He doesnt think about them  though  until he gets into a fist fight John Dalton - the richest  preppiest kid in his New Mexican high school  and longtime nemesis of Steve. After the fight  Steve takes Frankie under his wing - and Frankies social currency begins to rise. The cholos who used to ignore him start to recognize him; he even lands a date to Homecoming with Rebecca.  The situation with Dalton continues to simmer  and after another incident Steve is bent on retaliating. Frankie starts to think that his brother is taking this respect thing too far. He may have to choose between respecting his brother and respecting himself.  In an honest and humorous debut novel  Coert Voorhees uses a coming of age story to look at where loyalty ends and the self begins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985038110773,"sku":"ByrdShop_1423103041","price":32.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781423103042.jpg?v=1770843887","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-brothers-torres","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
