Nine-year-old Javier Zamora’s trek is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He left his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Javier narrates this story as he travels alone amid strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety.
Learn first-hand about his bravery, hope, and desire to reunite with his family. Every American school student in middle school should read this novel.
