Life at home is so unbearable that these kids will risk their lives
and face colossal challenges to escape to the United States and
find safety. This book tells the true stories of five brave
teens fleeing their home countries of Guatemala, El Salvador,
Honduras, and Guinea, on their own, traveling through unknown and
unfriendly places, and ultimately crossing into the US to find
refuge and seek asylum. Based on extensive interviews with
teen refugees, lawyers, caseworkers, and activists, Tracy White
shines a light on five individual kids from among the tens of
thousands of unaccompanied minors who enter the US each
year. In stark black and white illustrations, she helps us
understand why some young people would literally risk their lives
to seek safety in the US. Each one of them has been backed into a
corner where emigration to the US seems like their only
hope.Â
