The House of the Scorpion

Written by Nancy Farmer
Matteo Alacran's life had an unusual beginning. He came from the DNA of El Patron, lord of a country called Opium. Most consider him a monster, but El Patron loves him. Matteo is threatened by a scary group of characters. He would love to escape, but it's not that easy to leave the Alacran Estate. Even if he succeeds, his differences are more noticeable than he thinks.
