Description

Adapted for young people, this edition of Enrique’s Journey is written by Sonia Nazario and based on the adult book of the same name. It’s the true story of Enrique, a teenager from Honduras, who sets out on a journey, braving hardship and peril, to find his mother, who had no choice but to leave him when he was once a child and go to the US on the lookout for work. Enrique’s story will bring to light the daily struggles of migrants, legal and another way, and the complicated choices they face simply trying to live to tell the tale and provide for the basic needs of their families. The issues seamlessly interwoven into this gripping nonfiction work for young people are ideal for common core discussion. Includes an 8-page photo insert, in addition to an epilogue that describes what has happened to Enrique and his family since the adult edition was once published.
 

“A heartwrenching account. Provides a human face, both beautiful and scarred, for the undocumented. A will have to read.”–Kirkus Reviews, Starred

“Nazario’s straightforward . . . journalistic writing style largely serves the complex, sprawling story effectively. A valuable addition to young adult collections.”—School Library Journal
 
“This powerfully written survival story personalizes the complicated, pervasive, and heart-wrenching debates about immigration and immigrants’ rights and will certainly spark discussion in the school room and at home.”—Booklist
