Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea
5.0
Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea is a timely book. This journey recounts the story of three teenage girls from a small Mexican village. One of them has realized there are few men left in their village. The reason is banditos have made it impossible for the men to make a living in their own hometown. The girls watch the movie "The Magnificent Seven" and decide they have to go to the United States to bring back seven men to keep the banditos from taking over.
You will learn what people endure to cross the border from Mexico into the U.S.A. It is a tale where we all learn what motivates people to risk their lives in this perilous journey to save not only themselves but the people they love and work with daily.
