Phillippe Diederich
“Packs a punch while managing to wrest tough situations into the realm of hope.”—Booklist, starred review
“A powerful novel about teenagers forced to grow up too soon [and] kids dealing with adult problems.”—Jaquira Díaz, author of Ordinary Girls
Flaco isn’t the kind of kid who gets in trouble. He doesn’t want to give his mom or his aunt any grief. They’ve had enough since his cousin Carlos died in Afghanistan. But he finds a whole lot more than trouble when he and his friends Tiny, Magaña, and Susi take the bus from their Houston neighborhood to Diamond Park to buy a used car. And not just any car—a 1959 Impala convertible, a dream ride. The transaction gets complicated fast, and Susi ends up with a knife in her hands, covered in blood.
To clear Susi’s name, the boys cross into Mexico hunting for a trafficker named Anaconda, the man they believe is the real killer. In the process, they discover how little they ever actually understood about what really happened in Diamond Park.

“Packs a punch while managing to wrest tough situations into the realm of hope.”—Booklist, starred review
“An important title displaying the complexities of Latinx culture and of finding a sense of self set against the backdrop of trying to catch a murderer, this story will keep readers on the edge with danger lurking behind every corner.”—School Library Journal, starred review
“Phillippe Diederich's Diamond Park is a powerful novel about teenagers forced to grow up too soon, kids dealing with adult problems. Gripping and expertly paced, this literary thriller is about so many things—the implicit and explicit violence of the U.S.-Mexico border, the nuances of the Mexican-American experience, racial injustice. And most importantly family and friendship.”—Jaquira Díaz, author of Ordinary Girls
“Dark, compelling, and surprisingly hopeful.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Diederich interweaves Mexican American culture and murder in a rollicking road trip adventure that offers action without sacrificing emotional heft . . . Flaco’s realistic narrative voice offers a unique and thought-provoking, conversational perspective on class, mental health, and misogyny.”—Publishers Weekly
