In this book, author, Sonia Nazario, follows a young boy named Enrique on his journey from Honduras to the United States where his mother lives in hopes that all of his problems will get better. While on the journey, Enrique faces many obstacles and hardships but remains determined to meet his mother again.
I personally enjoyed this book and especially enjoyed how Nazario used Enrique’s Journey as a window into migrants' lives and motivations. Nazario also did a great job of describing how tough the journey is along with being able to help readers connect with the motivations of the migrants. Another thing Nazario does well is her use of text structure to put emphasis on certain topics. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes non-fiction books that include adventure and emotional scenes, as well as anyone that would like to understand migrants more.
