We Are Not from Here
by Jenny Torres Sanchez
A timely, thought provoking, heart wrenching, desperate tale of 3 teens trying to cross the Mexican border into the US for safety and a future that will viscerally tear through your heart.
Jenny Torres Sanchez has literally ripped my heart out with this book! Pulga, Chico and Pequeña’s journey brought up so many emotions in me - I ugly cried, I laughed, I felt horror, I felt hope but above all I felt such admiration and love for these characters.
This is a reality we hear often in the news - immigrants desperately trying to cross into US borders. This story brings this to life in such a vivid, emotional way. We experience why these teens need to leave everything and everyone they know and love. We are with them every step of their perilous, often daunting journey and feel all their loss and their unyielding desire to survive.
