Summary:
"Back home in San Francisco, being gay didn't mean feeling different. But at his new school in Orangevale, H?ector Mu?noz stands out like a sore thumb in a sea of sameness. And Mike, the school bully, makes sure H?ector knows it. Most days, H?ector resorts to hiding in the janitor's closet. But one day, when the door closes behind him, H?ector finds a room suddenly filled with everything his heart desires: a couch, video games, and even his abuela's famous horchata. As if that weren't bewildering enough, two other kids soon appear in H?ector's unlikely hideaway. Juliana and Sal live in different corners of the country, and they each found the room for their own reasons. Now, as they learn more about the impossible place that's brought them together, these three outsiders will open the door to a life-changing year of adventure, friendship, and just a little bit of magic."-- Provided by publisher.
