A Kirkus Best Book of 2017 * A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year * An ALA/YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Selection

Read the book Morris Award finalist Sonia Patel called a brilliant, subtle debut, and Kirkus hailed as heart-wrenching, funny, hopeful, and not-to-be-missed in a starred review

The Closest I've Come is a must-read from talented first-time author Fred Aceves, in the tradition of Walter Dean Myers.

Marcos Rivas yearns for love, a working cell phone, and maybe a pair of sneakers that aren't falling apart. But more than anything, Marcos wants to get out of Maesta, his hood, away from his indifferent mom and her abusive boyfriend--which seems impossible.

When Marcos is placed in a new after-school program, he meets Zach and Amy, whose friendship inspires Marcos to open up to his Maesta crew, too, and starts to think more about his future and what he has to fight for. Marcos ultimately learns that bravery isn't about acting tough and being macho; it's about being true to yourself.

The Closest I've Come is a story about traversing real and imagined boundaries, about discovering new things in the world, and about discovering yourself, too.

--Elizabeth Acevedo, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Poet X

They need to find a better way to ship it
Style: 1 gal
What was left in the bottle worked great. However, the cap was off of the jug when I opened the package. Ididn't have enough for the other tires.

TireJect Product Featured on Youtube Channel "sixtyfiveford" Works Fantastic!
Size: 8oz MTB Tire Sealant Kit, Size: 8oz MTB Tire Sealant Kit
I recently had an opportunity to work on an old Troy-Bilt Snow Blower with a Carlisle Stud Bias Tire - 4.80-8 4 that had a continual leak and would not hold pressure for more than a day. After investigation, I discovered that it "Champagne" sized bubbles coming from an area on the sidewall that I circled in yellow "China" marker. Because of the size of the tire, I decided to purchase the "TireJect Mountain Bike (MTB) Tire Sealant Kit because I didn't require a lot of material to seal the tire. The TireJect Mountain Bike (MTB) Tire Sealant Kit came with an single 8oz container and I used 4 of those 8oz's in this single tire. The TireJect material sealed up the area beautifully. After the sealant cured, I was able to pump up the tire to 15PSI and it has held it's pressure for more than a week now. You can see from the photos, that the sidewalls in that yellow circled area were actually cracked (probably due to the tire sitting flat for more than a year). I highly recommend this product over previous products I have used in the past (Slime).

No more leaks!
Size: 8oz MTB Tire Sealant Kit
This product worked as it should and was easy to install. It connected to the presta stem with no issues. I have had issues with one tire constantly leaking at the bead and this finally sealed the tire.

Bought to hopefully seal bead leak
Size: 8oz MTB Tire Sealant Kit
I’ve been using Stan’s sealant on my tubeless tires for years! I have been having issues with a new tire for a while. It was like the bead wouldn’t seal on a specific spot and my tire was constantly leaking air. The local bike shop couldn’t fix it. I bought this product because it claimed to help seal bead leaks. So far so good! I really didn’t want all the doo-dads for the schrader valves. It took me a minute to figure out how to get the presta valve stem out but once I did- it was super easy to install the injector thing and add the sealant. After inflating my tires- I went for a 20 minute bike ride to get the sealant all around my tires. I’m going to take this bike out to pima-dynamite trailhead next weekend in Scottsdale AZ to see if the sealant holds up!!
