17 year-old Ben craves a car. His parents promise him one if he'll spend the summer in El Salvador rebuilding the houses of earthquake victims. He doesn't want to do it but decides that it's worth it to get a car. He goes and, although he doesn't really like the work, he comes to appreciate El Salvador's people and way of life. When he returns to California, he makes a most unexpected decision.
An interesting story with lots of cultural and social elements.

Mi propio auto is een niveautje hoger dan de andere boekjes, maar heel prettig te lezen. Veel woordjes worden gedurende het verhaal herhaald. Ook de verhaallijn is leuk om te lezen, vanuit de visie van een jonge student die leert te relativeren door een levenservaring. Een verhaal met een moraal. La vida es buena, of je nu arm bent of rijk. Heb er van genoten.
