Gaucho desperately wants to get out of the bad streets of New York. Blacho tells Gaucho that he knows were fast money can be made. Unwittliy, he becomes involed with a dangerous scheme, which ends in a chase throughout Chinatown. Gauchos fear, vulaberlaty and finally his trouble with a fearful secret. Gaucho was a good book that shows how you should think of something before you do it. The book had alot of good description of the character and how they played their role. I would recommend this book to people that want to find out their ethic identity, and how Gaucho did it
