The Improbable Rise of Paco Jones

The Improbable Rise of Paco Jones

The hero is Paco Jones, a biracial Mexican kid with few friends. Heâ€™s recently transferred from his old junior high to a private school, and because heâ€™s the poor new kid, he soon finds himself the least popular. It doesnâ€™t help that he sports â€œa big nose, an unflattering birthmark, pigeon-toed feet and hairy arms,â€ all of them fodder for teasing. Heâ€™s jeered at during lunch, called Paco Taco, and ridiculed for being different. So what hope is there for him when he falls for Naomi Fox, a popular girl already involved with a popular guy? Through dumb luck and a few clever moves, Paco soon finds himself on center stage amidst a twisted middle school mess.
