Manuelito
Thirteen-year-old Manuelito lives with his family in a small Guatemalan village haunted by memories of civil war and threatened by armed patrols and drug gangs. When his parents fear he'll be forced into gang life, they make the agonizing choice to send him north to live with his aunt. With only a bus ticket and little money, Manuelito begins a perilous journey through Mexico and into the United States, facing corrupt smugglers and even greater dangers once he arrives. This graphic novel gives voice to the thousands of Central American children fleeing violence in search of safety and asylum.
