For this striking, stripped-down account of youth immigration,
Villalobos interviewed teens at various stages of the immigration
process to illustrate their stories - the physical and emotional
difficulties of their travels. He then changed certain elements of
these stories in order to protect the children's identities. Each
chapter brings forth the voice of one young immigrant's experience,
from crossing the Mexican desert to gang violence to the 'freezers'
at ICE detention centres. Together, these teen voices paint a vivid
and thought-provoking picture of US-Central American immigration
and the American refugee crisis, which will resonate with young
readers, educators, and fans of his adult fiction alike.
