Summary
In English class, they did a poetry unit, and Chris had liked it more than he'd expected. Not all the poems, obviously, but he likes poetry in general, as it turns out. Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson and even Shakespeare, the rhythm of the sonnets, the language. He'd liked the unit so much he went to the library and got out a poetry anthology, so he could find other poems he'd like too.
He brought the book back to his grandparents' house and flipped through it in his room, stopping on any title that caught his eye, letting the words wash over him.
On page 78, he found, "Childhood is the Kingdom Where Nobody Dies," and he felt his heart stop.
It wasn't exactly that he wanted to read it. But he had to. He couldn't have stopped if he tried. And once he'd read it, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He went online and printed a copy, kept it hidden like contraband under his bed because he didn't want Abuela to find it when she was cleaning and ask about it.

Summary
When Eddie end up in the hospital, Buck travels to El Paso to be there for Chris. In the overwhelming Texas heat Buck and Chris learn to navigate the complexities of their relationship to each other. What does it mean to be a legal guardian? What does it mean to be family?
~Or~
Chris is fourteen and heavily traumatized. When he's confronted with yet another drastic shift in his family, he acts like it. He's insecure, he's full of doubt, and he can't seem to wrap his head around why Buck showed up at all.
~~
"How did you do that?"
"Open the door?" Chris asked back, as if it was the stupidest question he ever heard.
"I thought it was locked," Buck said.
Chris raised his eyebrow and held up the key in his hand, balanced his weight on one single crutch while he did so, "You don't have a key?"
"Uh," Buck cleared his throat, a little embarrassed, "N-no."
