The Only Road by Alexandra Diaz
4.0
This was a great book for middle school students to learn about the struggles of kids their age in Central America who are just trying to survive. Multicultural, adventure, and some suspense make this book an easy one to read.
Read alikes: The Red Umbrella, Refugee
Questions to ask:
How do Jaime and Ángela make the extra money to cross the border? Jaime draws pictures of people and Ángela hems clothes
What was weird about the shoe they kicked while walking? There was still a foot in it?
How did they get their dog Vida? They rescued her from a dog fight (where she was used as bait and Ángela stitched her up with blue thread)
What do we find out about Joaquín? He's really a girl
