Description

Award-winning creator Reyna Grande shares her personal experience of crossing borders and cultures on this middle grade adaptation of her memoir, The Distance Between Us—“crucial account of the many ways immigration impacts children” (Booklist, starred review).

When her parents make the dangerous and illegal trek around the Mexican border in pursuit of the American dream, Reyna and her siblings are forced to live with their stern grandmother, as they look forward to their parents to build the foundation of a new life.

But when things don’t go slightly as planned, Reyna finds herself preparing for her own journey to “El Otro Lado” to live with the man who has haunted her imagination for years: her long-absent father. Both funny and heartbreaking, The Distance Between Us sheds light at the immigrant experience beautifully capturing the struggle that Reyna and her siblings endured even as seeking to assimilate to a different culture, language, and circle of relatives life in El Otro Lado (The Other Side).
