This realistic fiction is a Coming of Age story about a boy named Marcus (who as the title says, doesn't speak Spanish) even though both his parents are from Puerto Rico. His dad split and moved back there leaving Marcus' mom to care for him and his brother alone. After a couple of incidents, it became a good time for Marcus and his family to "take a break." His mom works for an airline and was able to score some tickets for the three of them to go to Puerto Rico and visit the family. While there, Marcus will go on an adventure that will help him learn what really matters.
