HI-
I just wanted to report that it looks like a couple books got jumbled.
have cut and paste what is under Summary for House of the Scorpion by N. Farmer.
Only the final paragraph >> starting with "Matteo Alacran was not born..." is actually this novel. All the rest if from something else.

"M. Sindy Felins National Book Award finalist is in paperback for the first time. Karina has plenty to worry about on the last day of seventh grade: finding three Ds and a C on her report card again, getting laughed at by everyone again, being sent to the principal-again. But shes too busy dodging the fists of her stepfather and looking out for her sisters to deal with school. This is the story of a young girl coming of age amidst the violent waters that run just beneath the surface of suburbia-a story that has the courage to ask: How far will you go to protect the ones you love?

The epic story of a young girl torn from her African village, sold into slavery, and stripped of everything she has ever known-except hope.

Matteo Alacran was not born; he was harvested with the DNA from El Patron, lord of a country called Opium. Can a boy who was bred to guarantee anothers survival find his own purpose in life? And can he ever be free?"
