He'll be working in the mailroom with Jasmine, the manager. Marcelo chooses the law firm, though he's less than pumped. If Marcelo does well at the firm-and "well" is defined by Arturo, of course-he can go back to Paterson for his senior year. He thinks that what Marcelo needs is a dose of the "real world," which amounts to one of two options: either he goes to Oak Ridge High instead of Paterson in the fall, or he gives up his job at the stables for the summer and comes to work at Arturo's law firm, Sandoval and Holmes. You know that job at the stables? Yeah, Arturo's not down. He's been there all along, of course, but now he's about to throw a giant tire iron in the spokes of Marcelo's life. In short, life's pretty sweet.Įnter Arturo, Marcelo's dad. He's just gotten a job working with Paterson's equine-therapy horses, he lives in a nice house (well, actually, he lives in a fancy tree house in the backyard), and, best of all, he hears his own imaginary internal music (or IM) whenever he wants. He goes to Paterson, a school for special-needs kids, and he straight up loves it. He may have some kind of Asperger's-type syndrome, but he's happy. Marcelo Sandoval has a pretty good life, at least at the beginning of the book.
