 An American boy named Dustin lands in one of the toughest all-boys schools in 1970s Santiago, Chile. Between disastrous language mistakes, politically charged history presentations, and a soccer match where fitting in matters more than winning, he learns—often the hard way—what it truly means to belong.

Full of humor, heart, and hard-earned courage, this is a story about friendship, identity, and the unexpected moments that turn an outsider into one of us.
