Every Sunday after church, CJ and his grandmother ride the bus across town, but today, CJ wonders why they don't own a car like his friend Colby. Why doesn't he have an iPod like the boys on the bus? How come they always have to get off in the dirty part of town? Each question is met with an encouraging answer from grandma, who helps him see the beauty and fun in their routine and the world around them. This energetic ride through a bustling city highlights the wonderful perspective only grandparent and grandchild can share.

Hay una multitud de voces diferentes que nos hacen cómplices de sus inquietudes familiares, de sus impulsos homicidas, de hechos heroicos, del amor, de la perturbación. Sin embargo, todos los cuentos de este volumen se inscriben en un estilo narrativo, en una coherencia de forma y contenido que sí busca la originalidad en lo heterogéneo y en lo turbador, pero siempre en un tono menor, sin estridencias. Me repito: como si narrar lo insólito fuera lo cotidiano.
