Historia
Lydia Quixano Pérez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable. When Lydia’s husband’s tell-all profile of Javier, the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city, is published, none of their lives will ever be the same.

Historia
We meet 16-year-old Vali on the eve of a raid of her small Vermont town that sends her, her mother, and her younger brother on the run from the Deportation Forces. In this near-future America, all citizens are chipped at birth and this chip is used to track their movements from bus stops to schools to grocery stores. Vali and her mother are undocumented, but at least Vali has a counterfeit chip—until it starts malfunctioning. Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to California, a sanctuary state that is being walled off from the rest of the country.

Danny's tall and skinny. Even though he's not "built", his arms are long enough to give his pitch a power so fierce that any college scout would sign him on the spot. Ninety-five-mile-an-hour fastball, but the boy's not even on a team. Every time he gets up on the mound, he loses it. Ball ends up so far out of the strike zone it's laughable. But at his private school, they don't expect much else from him. Danny's brown. Half-Mexican brown....

Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the nineties, Erika Sánchez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment—a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom. Twenty-five years later, she’s now an award-winning novelist, poet, and essayist, but she’s still got an irrepressible laugh, an acerbic wit, and singular powers of perception about the world around her.

Charlie Vega is a lot of things. Smart. Funny. Artistic. Ambitious. Fat. People sometimes have a problem with that last one. Especially her mom. Charlie wants a good relationship with her body, but it's hard, and her mom leaving a billion weight loss shakes on her dresser doesn't help. The world and everyone in it have ideas about what she should look like: thinner, lighter, slimmer-faced, straighter-haired. Be smaller. Be whiter. Be quieter. But there's one person who's always in Charlie's corner: her best friend Amelia.

The first time I heard about Planet Choom, we'd been on Mars for almost a year. But life on the Mars station was grim, and since Earth was no longer an option (we may have blown it up), it was time to find a new home. That's how we ended up on Choom with the Zhuri. They're very smart. They also look like giant mosquitos. But that's not why it's so hard to live here. The Zhuri don't like us. And if humankind is going to survive, it's up to my family to change their minds. No pressure.

Resumen del Editor
Pulga has his dreams.
Chico has his grief.
Pequeña has her pride.
And these three teens have one another. But none of them have illusions about the town they've grown up in and the dangers that surround them. Even with the love of family, threats lurk around every corner. And when those threats become all too real, the trio knows they have no choice but to run: from their country, from their families, from their beloved home.
Crossing from Guatemala through Mexico, they follow the route of La Bestia, the perilous train system that might deliver them to a better life - if they are lucky enough to survive the journey. With nothing but the bags on their backs and desperation drumming through their hearts, Pulga, Chico, and Pequeña know there is no turning back, despite the unknown that awaits them and the darkness that seems to follow wherever they go.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"With poignant, exhausting lyricism and heart wrenching poetic prose, Jenny Torres Sanchez digs deep and shows us the throbbing, aching corazón - the hopeful, unbreakable spirit of the embattled immigrant. A book for the starving, lost soul." (Guadalupe García McCall, Pura Belpré Award-winning author of Under the Mesquite)

Historia
In I’m Telling the Truth, but I’m Lying, Bassey Ikpi explores her life - as a Nigerian-American immigrant, a black woman, a slam poet, a mother, a daughter, an artist - through the lens of her mental health and diagnosis of bipolar II and anxiety. Her remarkable memoir in essays implodes our preconceptions of the mind and normalcy as Bassey bares her own truths and lies for us all to behold with radical honesty and brutal intimacy.

Things never seem to go as easily for 13-year-old Frankie as they do for her sister, Tess. Unlike Tess, Frankie is neurodivergent. In her case, that means she can't stand to be touched, loud noises bother her, she's easily distracted, she hates changes in her routine, and she has to go see a therapist while other kids get to hang out at the beach. It also means Frankie has trouble making friends. She did have one - Colette - but they're not friends anymore. It's complicated. Then, just weeks before the end of seventh grade, Colette unexpectedly shows up at Frankie's door.

We should have known the end was near. So begins Imbolo Mbue’s powerful second novel, How Beautiful We Were. Set in the fictional African village of Kosawa, it tells of a people living in fear amid environmental degradation wrought by an American oil company. Pipeline spills have rendered farmlands infertile. Children are dying from drinking toxic water. Promises of cleanup and financial reparations to the villagers are made - and ignored. The country’s government, led by a brazen dictator, exists to serve its own interests.

important story!
I kept saying to myself, from middle school kids? but the realities are tough, and for a kid, especially with some guidance, this book is a powerful tale of what people go through to save their lives. It's a war story. Woven telling, two voices on the journey.

These children attempt to escape the dangers of Guatemala by finding a better life in America. Their perilous journey is fret with danger from coyotes, border patrol, a heartless American government and brutality of the terrain. Instead of an escape Pulga, Chico, and Pequena find death, a rebirth, and sorrows no child should endure. Jenny Torres Sanchez has written the 21st centuries version of the Grapes of Wrath and I dear say she could teach John Steinbeck a thing or two.

One of my new Favourites
This is by far one of my favourite stories I’ve read in a LONG time. I am currently reading this with my students, and every part of this novel is impactful. The experiences of the main characters are so real and relatable on so many levels. I sat there on the edge of my seat worried about Pulga, Pequeña, and Chico as they make their perilous journey. I highly recommend We Are Not From Here.

heartbreaking... necessary
Such an amazing story and journey. I felt so much for these characters. The words are put together so vividly that you start to feel and hear the train. My husband made this same trip from Guatemala and the things he's described to me are very similar. Almost identical. He had a cousin to die on the train. I hope this books reaches the ears that NEED to hear it... perhaps it may open their hearts.

A Terrible and Beautiful Window
This story gave insight into what a few stories of children fleeing homes in Central America May be like. Through dynamic characters who are deeply formed by the beauty and terrors of their home neighborhoods, and by the horrors and small kindnesses on their journey, Jenny Sanches Torres cultivates empathy in readers for the precious lives of people considered too small by the world. Powerful narrative imagery drives readers to reflect on themes of life and death, love and fear, hope and perseverance and grief.

Heart wrenching
An absolutely heart wrenching story. I cried so many times listening. What a beautifully and truthful told story of what so many kids endure on their journey to a new life and escaping a lifeless life they left behind.

Unbelievable!
This is an amazing story of how these people struggle just to have the lives we take for granted every day. Such strength and courage these young people have that sacrifice all they are to be free and safe!
