After bumping into Marisol at school, Ignacio “Iggy” Garcia’s world is spun around. But Marisol has too much going on to be bothered with the likes of Iggy. As Iggy stresses over how to get Marisol to like him, his grandfather comes to the rescue. The thing is, not only is his abuelito dead but he also gives terrible love advice. And so, with his ghost abuelito’s meddling, Iggy’s life begins to unravel as he sets off on a journey of self-discovery.
Call Me Iggy tells the story of Iggy searching for his place in his family, his school, his community, and his country. Perfect for lovers of multigenerational stories like Displacement and The Magic Fish.
Also available in Spanish under the title Llámame Iggy.
