ONE OF THE BEST YOUNG ADULT LIBRARY SERVICES ASSOCIATION (YALSA) FICTION BOOKS OF 2021 The journey filled with danger, resilience, pain, and hope as three Guatemalan teenagers cross the border between Mexico and the United States. Pulga carries his dreams with him. Chico carries the pain of losing his mother. Pequeña has her pride. These three teenagers have each other and have no illusions about the town where they grew up.

With nothing but a backpack on their backs and desperation pounding in their hearts, Flea, Boy, and Little One know there is no turning back, no matter what unknown dangers await them. In this stunning portrait of three lives unjustly shattered, based on true events, Jenny Torres-Sanchez highlights the sacrifice of migrants at the southern border through vivid and moving storytelling.
