Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.   ) lilibrarian | Feb 14, 2009 |  This would be a great story to use in conjunction with a global issues theme. It isn’t too depressing, and the boys don’t spend much time feeling sorry for themselves. The simple text would make it accessible for a weak reader in grade seven or eight, and the highly personal nature of the narrative makes it quite interesting. A reader can’t help but want to know what happens to Libertad and Joey. The book is written in free verse, and describes the journey the two boys, and their puppy take to find their father. It provides an excellent look at migrant children and their attempts to get into the United States without being too depressing. It is written so simply that a child in grade 4 - 6 could easily understand the story. ( ) JRlibrary | Jan 19, 2009 | This book has a unique perspective and tells an important story, but I found the boys' passage to the United States too easy to be believable. An author's note provides some information about the thousands of children who undertake similar journeys each year. For a tale of border crossing, I prefer Ann Jaramillo's LA LINEA.

Although it is too late for him, Libertad is determined that his little brother should go to school.

But his dreams for their future are destroyed when their mother is killed in a freak accident. Libertad must face the inevitable truth; they cannot survive on the streets of Guatemala City alone. There is only one thing to do. They must set out on the long and lonely journey to the Rio Grande River, where they plan to cross the water and enter the United States to find their father.
