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 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 Mar a Dolores and her young daughter, Alegr a, 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. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Cuando cruzaba la frontera de México con Estados Unidos un muchacho se detiene por ICE en esta novela actual e impávida escrita por la autora galardonada Alexandra Díaz. La cama cruje bajo el peso del cuerpo tembloroso de Santiago. Dicen que la vida de una persona pasa por su mente antes de morir. Pero esto no es toda su vida. Son solo los acontecimientos que lo llevaron a esta situación. Los más importantes y los que Santiago quisiera olvidar. Las monedas en la mano de Santiago son para el boleto del autobús para regresar a la casa de su abuela abusiva. Pero él rehusa regresar. No lo van a extrañar. Su futuro es incierto hasta que se encuentra con María Dolores, cariñosa y maternal y su joven hija, Alegría. Este encuentro ayuda a Santiago a decidir lo que va a hacer. Va a acompañarlas hasta el otro lado, hasta los Estados Unidos de América. Emprenden el viaje con muy pocas cosas, solo mochilas con agua y un poquito de comida. Viajar juntos requiere que confíen unos en los otros y Santiago está acostumbrado a ir solo. Ninguno de los tres viajeros se da cuenta de que la travesía a través de México hasta la frontera es solamente el comienzo de su historia.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Actualizada con un nuevo epílogo, reflexiones finales, fotos de Enrique y su familia, una entrevista con la autora y mucho más, esta es la versión definitiva de un clásico contemporáneo de los Estados Unidos.   Basada en la serie de Los Angeles Times ganadora de dos premios Pulitzer--al mejor reportaje de divulgación y a la mejor fotografía--esta asombrosa historia le pone rostro humano al actual debate sobre la reforma inmigratoria en los Estados Unidos. Devenido en clásico, este relato cautivante sobre la fuerza de la familia es un texto elegido en muchas escuelas y el punto de partida para una discusión trascendente sobre la inmigración en comunidades a lo largo y a lo ancho del país.   La travesía de Enrique es la inolvidable historia de un niño hondureño que se lanza en busca de su madre, once años después de que ella se vio forzada a dejar atrás a su familia hambrienta para buscar trabajo en los Estados Unidos. Enrique atraviesa parajes hostiles llenos de malhechores, forajidos y policías corruptos. Pero avanza a fuerza de ingenio, coraje, esperanza--y también gracias a la bondad de los desconocidos. Para Isabel Allende, La travesía de Enrique es "La Odisea del siglo XXI. Si va a leer solo un libro basado en hechos reales este año, tiene que ser este".   "Magnífico . . . La Travesía de Enrique es una historia de amor, de familia, de hogares".--The Washington Post Book World   "Un informe lacerante escrito desde las líneas de avanzada de la inmigración . . . angustioso y conmovedor".--People (cuatro estrellas)   "Extraordinaria . . . aunque solo sea como historia de aventuras, vale la pena leer La travesía de Enrique . . . Con su impresionante trabajo periodístico, Nazario logra que el problema de la inmigración deje de ser una cuestión política para volverse una historia personal".--Entertainment Weekly   "Cautivante y desgarradora . . . una historia que clamaba que alguien la contara".--The Christian Science Monitor   "Una verdadera hazaña periodística. [Sonia Nazario] es increíblemente minuciosa e intrépida".--Newsday.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This high-quality Spanish-language book can be enjoyed by fluent Spanish speakers as well as those learning the language, whether at home or in a classroom. Una larga travesía hasta el agua, bestseller del New York Times, comienza como dos historias, que se van alternando, sobre dos niños de once años en Sudán, una niña en 2008 y un niño en 1985. La niña, Nya, va a buscar agua a un estanque que está a dos horas de caminata desde su hogar; cada día, hace dos viajes hasta el estanque. El niño, Salva, se convierte en uno de los "niños perdidos" de Sudán, refugiados que recorren a pie el continente africano en búsqueda de sus familias y de un lugar seguro en el que vivir. Soportando todas las adversidades -la soledad, el ataque de rebeldes armados, el contacto con leones y cocodrilos asesinos-, Salva es un superviviente, y su historia se cruza con la historia de Nya de una manera sorprendente y movilizadora. The New York Times bestseller A Long Walk to Water begins as two stories, told in alternating sections, about two eleven-year-olds in Sudan, a girl in 2008 and a boy in 1985. The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours' walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya's in an astonishing and moving way.…
