As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Efren Divided by Ernesto Cisneros
This pairs well with Land of Cranes. Can you imagine looking for a better life for your family, when where you come from isn't safe. This story makes it more personal. A good story. One little element bothered me, when Efren is in Mexico looking for his mother, he is all by himself. He ends up with a taxi driver that is a good guy but I fear in real life, there could be bad people who do terrible things. Over all a good story. Fine for school libraries.
