La Linea by Ann Jaramillo
La Linea by Ann Jaramillo tells a story of what it might be like to illegally cross the southern border into the United States. Ann Jaramillo uses her experiences with immigrant students to flesh out the thoughts and emotions of her characters. These characters are so real that they could be the children in your class or the man next door.
This is not an easy story just as the trip into the US is not easy. There are encounters with robbers mention of and fear of rape.
