Resumen del Editor
"Rod Pulido delivers the ultimate one-two punch: bare-knuckled, bruising honesty wrapped in humor, sincerity, and sweetness." — Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
Experience the extreme joys, sorrows, and triumphs of a queer Filipino-American teenager struggling to prove himself in an unforgiving world. A poignant coming-of-age story, perfect for fans of Patron Saints of Nothing and Juliet Takes a Breath.
Self preservation. That's Bobby's motto for surviving his notoriously violent high school unscathed. Being out and queer would put an unavoidable target on his back, especially in a Filipino community that frowns on homosexuality. It's best to keep his head down, get good grades, and stay out of trouble.
But when Bobby is unwillingly outed in a terrible way, he no longer has the luxury of being invisible. A vicious encounter has him scrambling for a new way to survive—by fighting back. Bobby is inspired by champion Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao to take up boxing and challenge his tormentor. But when Pacquiao publicly declares his stance against queer people, Bobby's faith—in his hero and in himself—is shaken to the core.
A powerful and unflinching debut that will both shatter and uplift hearts with every word.
Reseñas de la Crítica

"Pulido addresses important themes of homophobia, socio-economic differences, and fallen heroes with a light hand. A solid debut that explores coming-of-age topics with sensitivity." —Kirkus Reviews

Historia
Nothing has been the same since Caleb Becker left a party drunk, got behind the wheel, and hit Maggie Armstrong. Even after months of painful physical therapy, Maggie walks with a limp. Her social life is nil and a scholarship to study abroad - her chance to escape everyone and their pitying stares - has been canceled. After a year in juvenile jail, Caleb’s free...if freedom means endless nagging from a transition coach and the prying eyes of the entire town. Coming home should feel good, but his family and ex-girlfriend seem like strangers.

But as rumors run rampant and reputations are destroyed, Lucy's not listening to Jude's warning.

Matt Wainwright is constantly sabotaged by the overdramatic movie director in his head. He can't tell his best friend, Tabby, how he really feels about her; he implodes on the JV basketball team; and the only place he feels normal is in Mr. Ellis' English class, discussing the greatest fart scenes in literature and writing poems about pissed-off candy-cane lumberjacks. After a tragic accident, Matt finds himself left on the sidelines, on the verge of spiraling out of control and losing everything that matters to him.

I thought I'd left Blackwater, Texas, behind for good. I didn't belong in the small town, but my dad wouldn't listen. He dragged me back home in his beat-up truck and dropped a bomb along the way: Chase Matthews was moving in with us. He was the golden boy of my high school, my former best friend, and the last person I wanted sleeping across the hall. His presence was too great a reminder of the ghosts I was trying to forget.

I can't say they didn't warn me. Right now, I realize: I probably should have listened. Because if there's anyone who has no business playing a sport that requires a helmet, pads, and a liability waiver, it's this girl. The same girl who once knocked herself out during a game of backyard baseball. I stepped up to the plate, pulled the bat back a little too far to swing, and clocked myself in the back of the skull. Boom. Lights Out Lucy. That's how I got my roller derby name. So yeah. Maybe I should have known better.

Classic movie buff Bailey "Mink" Rydell has spent months crushing on a witty film geek she only knows online by "Alex". Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush. Faced with doubts (what if he's a creep in real life - or worse?), Bailey doesn't tell Alex she's moved to his hometown. Or that she's landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Or that she's being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Roth - a.k.a. her new arch-nemesis.

A Knockout Debut
I went into this already predisposed to feeling a high level of resentment towards Manny Pacquiao with his very public homophobia so I was shocked to discover for myself how fair and respectful this story was of the man in spite of his unsavory misdeeds. CHASING PACQUIAO succinctly and poignantly asked hard questions Filipinos in the diaspora especially have yet to truly reckon with as a community.
Though Manny's spirit loomed large in the background, it didn't take up the entirety of the space and oxygen of the well-balanced story. This queer coming-of-age tale celebrates love, humor, and friendship amidst trauma, loss, and violence. The fun vernacular and comic book lexicon made it abundantly clear that this was made for unabashed geeks like me.
I'm only left to melancholically wonder how my life would've been different if I read something like this in my late teens, while simultaneously feeling thrilled for young people who get to do so now and find out for themselves.
Whether you're Filipino American, queer, a comic book geek, a boxing stan, young, mature, a coming-of-age connoisseur, or any combination of the above ... this story's for us all.
A solid and delightful narration by Jesse Inocalla of THE DRAGON PRINCE fame. What a joy to hear the voice of Soren tell this important story!
Looking forward to more from Rod Pulido!

Queer Fil-Am representation FINALLY
Definitely something a kid in similar shoes needs! Whether it’s being bullied for being queer, Asian or anything else. It’s a story that makes you cheer for the underdog but understand that people are multifaceted and even the bully has more to their story. I stumbled across this book on an instagram ad and so glad I did. Literally binged the whole audiobook in 1 sitting.
Stories like this, with REAL representation MATTER. We NEED more stories like this.

A Stunning Debut Perfectly Performed
"Chasing Pacquiao" was everything I wanted in a book and more. Funny, honest, heartwarming, and Filipino to the core, this book stirred up a lot of feelings. From Bobby's pain at losing his father to the joys of first love to dealing with a bully, "Chasing Pacquiao" recalled so much of my own adolescence and helped heal parts of me that I didn't know were still hurting.
Through Bobby -- who is a poet as well as a budding boxer -- I was introduced to the Filipino poetic form of Tanaga. Inspired, I wrote my first poem in this form inspired by the book:
Pacquiao's views are bigoted;
Love can't be prohibited.
Bobby's got a mean right hook,
Rod wrote a hell of a book.
"Chasing Pacquiao" is the kind of book that will burrow into your soul and stay there after you've read the final page. It truly has something for everyone and you will fall in love with its characters and author Rod Pulido's masterful writing.
Having already read the book on page, I was excited to hear Jesse Inocalla bring the text to life. To hear a FilAm actor read a book authored by a FilAm about FilAm characters is truly special. Inocalla is a talented actor who performed each character with skill and depth and I was blown away by his performance.

Great LGBTQIA+ story told from a Pinoy American perspective.
Great LGBTQIA+ story told from a Pinoy American perspective. The narration was superb! The story engaged me and had me rooting for all the main characters. Nothing super original here but entertaining as heck and I went straight through in one sitting cleaning the house and gardening. Would definitely recommend this one for an easy quick listen.
