“Un relato conmovedor que le da un rostro humano a los indocumentados, tan bello como marcado de cicatrices. Imprescindible”.—Kirkus Reviews, reseña destacada. Basada en el libro homónimo para adultos, La Travesía de Enrique de Sonia Nazario está disponible en su versión adaptada para lectores jóvenes traducida al español por Ana Ras. Esta es la verdadera historia de Enrique, un adolescente hondureño que emprende un viaje arduo y peligroso en busca de su madre, quien se vio forzada a dejarlo de niño para marcharse a los Estados Unidos a trabajar. La historia de Enrique refleja la lucha diaria de los migrantes, legales e ilegales, y las complejas decisiones que enfrentan sólo por intentar sobrevivir y satisfacer las necesidades básicas de sus familias. Entretejidos con fluidez en este apasionante relato real para jóvenes, surgen interrogantes perfectos para debatir en el aula. Incluye un suplemento fotográfico de ocho páginas y un epílogo que describe lo que les ha ocurrido a Enrique y su familia desde que se publicó la edición para adultos.  “El estilo directo y periodístico de Nazario resulta efectivo en este relato rico y complejo. Un agregado valioso para las colecciones de literatura juvenil”.—School Library Journal “El debate tan complejo y desgarrador como actual sobre la inmigración y los derechos de los inmigrantes adquiere un rostro humano en este relato magistralmente narrado que sin duda suscitará discusiones tanto en el aula como el hogar”.—Booklist Libro destacado de estudios sociales para jóvenes de NCSS-CBC El mejor libro para adolescentes del año según Kirkus Reviews Obra seleccionada por el Junior Library Guild

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
