Description
[Machine Translation] Fourteen-year-old Miguel leaves his hometown of Guatemala to follow his mother, who has gone to the United States to work. He meets four other young men of the same age who also want to go to the United States, and together they begin a journey across Mexico on the roof of a freight train. The journey is filled with hunger, thirst, cold, highwaymen, corrupt policemen, and ransom-seeking gangsters, but they also meet kind people and form a strong friendship. The author, a German national, met and interviewed many children traveling through Mexico on their way to the United States, and created a powerful story. Winner of the Friedrich Gerstecker Prize and a finalist for the German Children's Book Award.
