Journey of the Sparrows Paperback - 2002
by Fran Leeper Buss; Daisy Cubias
This heartbreaking, suspenseful story of the secret lives of illegal immigrants follows 15-year-old Maria, her sister, brother, and a boy named Toms, all from El Salvador, as they endure a terrifying journey across the U.S. border and then north to Chicago.
Summary
Nailed into a crate in the back of a truck, fifteen-year-old Maria, her older sister, Julia, their little brother, Oscar, and a boy named Tomas endure a terrifying and torturous journey across the U.S. border and then north to Chicago. There they struggle to find work-cleaning, sewing, washing dishes-always fearful of arrest and deportation back to the cruelties of El Salvador. By turns heartbreaking and hopeful, this moving story of the secret lives of immigrants is not to be missed.
A gripping, lyrical portrayal of a continuing American dilemma." (Kirkus Reviews, pointer review)
