A heartbreaking true story of the impact on children when parents immigrate in hopes of providing a better life for the children they leave behind. Even the young adult adaptation gave me chills, had me crying, and included graphically honest scenarios that immigrants face as they traverse from Central America to the US. Truly eye-opening, but also a hard read. 

Read this for school. Wasn’t my favorite, but still a good book. The stories told are not nearly publicized enough and are really eye-opening. This book has the potential to change a lot of minds about immigration issues, all while being pretty entertaining and entirely true. Originally a newspaper series, this book is amazingly well-researched and beautifully told. Just a little boring and slow at times, but it is nonfiction and the facts do need to be delivered.
