Description
A poignant and powerful novel about three teenagers fleeing their homeland in search of safety and hope. Pulga, Chico, and Pequeña have grown up with the harsh realities of life in their country, but they know that their only chance of survival lies in escaping. As they embark on a perilous journey across the US-Mexico border, they face numerous challenges and dangers, from the treacherous train system known as La Bestia to the darkness that seems to follow them everywhere. With nothing but their bags and desperation driving them forward, they must rely on each other for survival. This striking portrait of lives torn apart sheds light on the plight of migrants at the US southern border, offering a poignant and vivid exploration of danger, resilience, heartache, and hope.
