Enrique's Journey by Sonia Nazario

Summer 2013

Enrique's Journey, adapted for young readers, with a new epilogue!

             

 

"[Enrique’s Journey] personifies one of the greatest migrations in history....Much of the book is a thriller...a 12,000-mile journey worthy of an Indiana Jones movie." 
                                                — The Orange County Register

              

"Stunning...As an adventure narrative alone, Enrique’s Journey is a worthy read....Nazario’s impressive piece of reporting...turn[s] the current immigration controversy from a political story into a personal one." 

                                                — Entertainment Weekly

                

"A remarkable feat of 'immersion reporting.’...[Gives] the immigrant...flesh and bone, history and voice...The kind of story we have told ourselves throughout history, a story we still need to hear."
                                               — Los Angeles Times Book Review

             

 

"This portrait of poverty and family ties has the potential to reshape American conversations about immigration."
                                              — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
