The Other Side: Stories of Central American Teen Refugees Who Dream of Crossing the Border by Juan Pablo Villalobos
4.0
True stories of teens from Central America trying to cross the border into the US. Vivid. Heartbreaking. Real.
This is a fairly short book - only 148 pages altogether so there may not be as many details as some would like but it is a glimpse into the travails and hardships that these teens faced leaving their countries and trying to get into the US. (And there is also a very terse follow-up of where they are now). Also includes a glossary and suggestions for further reading.
Recommended for grades 6-12
