Written by: Sharon Brinkerhoff
I llustrated by: Dina Skeels

Life had never been easy for Carlos. His father died early, falling victim to the alcoholism that plagued his life. His mother and her five children were left in poverty. Carlos looked up to his brother, Diego, and wanted to fit in with his crowd, but he found himself in situations where the peer pressure was too great. Fortunately, Carlos had a gift, a rare and special talent that always helped him deal with difficult times. He was an artist, and through his abstract painting, he not only found a release for his emotions, but had already started to gain the respect and admiration of the art world. Would Carlos give in to the urge to follow the crowd, or would his artistic drive be strong enough to help him say, "I'm not with them." This story deals with teenage drinking including some graphic detail.
