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.
