Enrique's Crossing
“A moving account that gives a human face to the undocumented, as beautiful as it is scarred. A must-read.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review. Based on the adult book of the same name, Enrique’s Journey by Sonia Nazario is available in a version adapted for young readers translated into Spanish by Ana Ras. This is the true story of Enrique, a Honduran teenager who undertakes an arduous and dangerous journey in search of his mother, who was forced to leave him as a child to go to the United States to work. Enrique’s story reflects the daily struggle of migrants, legal and illegal, and the complex decisions they face just to try to survive and provide for their families’ basic needs. Seamlessly woven into this gripping true story for young people are questions perfect for classroom discussion. Includes an eight-page photo insert and an epilogue describing what has happened to Enrique and his family since the adult edition was published. “Nazario’s straightforward, journalistic style is effective in this rich, complex account. A valuable addition to young adult literature collections.”—School Library Journal “The complex and heartbreaking current debate over immigration and immigrant rights takes on a human face in this masterfully told account that is sure to spark discussion in both the classroom and the home.”—Booklist NCSS-CBC Junior Social Studies Notable Book Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year for Teens Junior Library Guild Selected
