A los catorce años, Francisco y su familia son detenidos por la migra y deportados a la frontera con México.

Breaking Through

In this Spanish-language edition of Breaking Through, award-winning author Francisco Jiménez continues the moving autobiographical story begun in The Circuit (Cajas de cartón). At fourteen, Francisco and his family are caught by immigration authorities and deported to the Mexican border. Determined to stay together, they return and face crushing poverty, long hours of field and janitorial work, and open prejudice—yet Francisco holds fast to his dream of an education. Told without bitterness or sentimentality, this powerful memoir of perseverance, family, and hope is an essential choice for middle-grade readers and classrooms exploring the immigrant experience.
