Enrique's Journey (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Review
If you are not sure why theres such a big debate over immigration reform, this book will give you a glimpse at why a family may choose to migrate to the U.S. This book was an easy read, I couldn't put it down. The journey some immigrants take is dangerous, even deadly and yet some people live in such poor conditions, that they risk their own lives in search of jobs in the U.S. I highly recommend this book.
Enrique's Journey (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Overview
FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Describes one Honduran boy's difficult and dangerous journey to find his mother, who had made the trek northward to the United States in search of a better life when Enrique had been five years old, but who had never made enough money to return home for her children, in a poignant account that addresses the issues of family and the implications of illegal immigration.

Not the best... - Sam -
Although the book has received numerous awards, and great reviews from critics, which I don't really see why, I hated it. The book is trying to garner sympathy for illegal immigrants. Simple as that. Sad story, simple story, not something I'm ever going to read again.

I read this while on a cultural exchange trip to Guanajuato Mexico...it certainly opened my eyes to the lengths immigrants are going to when trying to enter our country.
