Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With every chapter, readers will be further immersed in Santiago’s story as they root for his triumph over injustice.” —Booklist (starred review) “With unflinching conviction, Diaz sketches a frank, brief account of refugee youth in an uncaring bureaucratic system.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Harrowing but deeply illuminating.” —School Library Journal “Diaz’s crucial narrative shines a disconcerting light on the plight of children in US detention centers along the southern border.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) A young boy gets detained by ICE while crossing the border from Mexico to the United States in this timely and unflinching novel by award-winning author Alexandra Diaz. The bed creaks under Santiago’s shivering body. They say a person’s life flashes by before dying. But it’s not his whole life. Just the events that led to this. The important ones, and the ones Santiago would rather forget. The coins in Santiago’s hand are meant for the bus fare back to his abusive abuela’s house. Except he refuses to return; he won’t be missed. His future is uncertain until he meets the kind, maternal María Dolores and her young daughter, Alegría, who help Santiago decide what comes next: He will accompany them to el otro lado, the United States of America. They embark with little, just backpacks with water and a bit of food. To travel together will require trust from all parties, and Santiago is used to going it alone. None of the three travelers realizes that the journey through Mexico to the border is just the beginning of their story.

Book excerpt: This compelling young adult graphic memoir, based on real events, tells the story of Gricelda, a fifteen-year-old Mexican girl who attempts to cross the border into America with her mother and younger brother in search of a better life. Their treacherous journey, filled with both heartbreak and hope, begins in Tijuana, where they are transported from house to house by strangers. Here they meet the mysterious smuggler el Güero, who promises to lead the young family through the mountains and the scorching heat of the desert and beyond. Can he prove himself by keeping them safe during the crossing? Will America be the country of dreams like they imagined? Or will adjusting to their new life in California be another type of struggle for Gricelda and her family? With captivating illustrations inspired by the graffiti and stencil art prevalent during the 2006 political uprising in Oaxaca, as well as local textiles and embroidery, Travesía is Gricelda’s first-person account, derived from interviews with author Michelle Gerster and told in both English and Spanish, of crossing the Mexico-US border. Timely and relevant, Travesía is a vibrant and powerful testament to the desperation and resilience of millions of migrating people who endure the pain of leaving their old lives behind to embark on the perilous journey across borders in search of a new life. 100% of royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to Centro Legal de la Raza, a legal services agency protecting and advancing the rights of low-income, immigrant, Black, and Latinx communities through bilingual legal representation, education, and advocacy.

Download or read book Enrique's Journey written by Sonia Nazario and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-01-02 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An astonishing story that puts a human face on the ongoing debate about immigration reform in the United States, now updated with a new Epilogue and Afterword, photos of Enrique and his family, an author interview, and more—the definitive edition of a classic of contemporary America Based on the Los Angeles Times newspaper series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for feature writing and another for feature photography, this page-turner about the power of family is a popular text in classrooms and a touchstone for communities across the country to engage in meaningful discussions about this essential American subject. Enrique’s Journey recounts the unforgettable quest of a Honduran boy looking for his mother, eleven years after she is forced to leave her starving family to find work in the United States. Braving unimaginable peril, often clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains, Enrique travels through hostile worlds full of thugs, bandits, and corrupt cops. But he pushes forward, relying on his wit, courage, hope, and the kindness of strangers. As Isabel Allende writes: “This is a twenty-first-century Odyssey. If you are going to read only one nonfiction book this year, it has to be this one.” Praise for Enrique’s Journey “Magnificent . . . Enrique’s Journey is about love. It’s about family. It’s about home.”—The Washington Post Book World “[A] searing report from the immigration frontlines . . . as harrowing as it is heartbreaking.”—People (four stars) “Stunning . . . As an adventure narrative alone, Enrique’s Journey is a worthy read. . . . Nazario’s impressive piece of reporting [turns] the current immigration controversy from a political story into a personal one.”—Entertainment Weekly “Gripping and harrowing . . . a story begging to be told.”—The Christian Science Monitor “[A] prodigious feat of reporting . . . [Sonia Nazario is] amazingly thorough and intrepid.”—Newsday

Book excerpt: ¡Lea esta maravillosa historia, no se lo pierda! Travesía de dos inmigrantes es una historia maravillosa de la vida real de Bartolomé y Maribel. Es una narración en lenguaje sencillo, pero valiente. Es una historia para el buen lector latinoamericano. Encontrará drama y suspense en todas sus páginas. La presente historia ilustra momentos de felicidad y angustia de dos personajes que se aventuraron a viajar a los EE.UU. en busca de nuevas oportunidades de trabajo para, así, ayudar a sus hijos y familia. Atraídos por el país de las bonanzas, por su economía, que no era muy buena ya que en su país no podían salir adelante para poder progresar. Esta historia es una narración sencilla de la odisea que les tocó vivir, de su peregrinaje desde la República de Perú hasta Los Ángeles, en Norteamérica. Una travesía fantástica de sacrificio y sufrimiento, un viaje por tierra, aire y mar que duró un año y cinco meses. En esa época pasaron por Nicaragua, Centro América, cuando estaban gobernando los sandinistas, un gobierno comunista totalitario con su dictadura. Para Bartolomé y Maribel, al llegar a la frontera de Piedras Blancas con Juan José de Costa Rica y Nicaragua. En la entrada se veía un gigantesco letrero que decía "Nicaragua Libre jamás se arrodillará ante los yanquis". ¡Qué emoción para ellos al ver aquella frase! Sus corazones latían fuertemente de alegría, sus ojos se nublaron como queriendo llorar. Pero en unos minutos, todo cambió. Al ingresar al país, se llevaron una gran decepción al encontrarlo todo diferente. No había ni taxis ni empresas de transportes que los llevaran a Guatemala. Sólo podían viajar en los vagones de carga que iban a México. Como medio de transporte de carga sólo veían una carreta grande jalada por un caballo, un buey o un burro. Mientras sus hijos andaban cargados con bultos por su pueblo, por las solitarias carreteras bajo el ardiente calor. Amigo, si quieres saber más de un gobierno comunista, no dejes de leer esta maravillosa historia.
