Crossing the Wire by Will Hobbs 
Victor is desperate to travel to “El Norte” (the U.S.A.) to find work and send money home to his mother, but crossing the border is dangerous and illegal. If the Border Patrol doesn’t catch you, you could be beaten by vigilantes, or simply overcome by the heat of the desert. Ages 9-12 |
