   Book 75: Mexikid. A fun graphic memoir about growing up in a Mexican American family with 8 siblings. The central event is the entire family going to Mexico in an RV and a pickup truck to fetch their grandfather and bring him back to live with them. The siblings mostly get along, the parents are mostly decent people and the kids are often tussling with one another about where they are going to spend their "strawberry [picking] money" (pop rocks? fireworks? candy?). A very warm and funny memoir.
