Pulga has his dreams.

Chico has his grief.

Pequeña has her pride.

And these three teens have one another. But none of them have illusions about the town they've grown up in and the dangers that surround them. Even with the love of family, threats lurk around every corner. And when those threats become all too real, the trio knows they have no choice but to run: from their country, from their families, from their beloved home.

Crossing from Guatemala through Mexico, they follow the route of La Bestia, the perilous train system that might deliver them to a better life - if they are lucky enough to survive the journey. With nothing but the bags on their backs and desperation drumming through their hearts, Pulga, Chico, and Pequeña know there is no turning back, despite the unknown that awaits them and the darkness that seems to follow wherever they go.

My Change On Perspectives

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I am a 10th-grade English student. For our quarter book we read, We Are Not From Here by Jenny Torres Sanchez. As the class read, our perspectives on immigration were deepened and changed. The novel opened my eyes to the immigration journey and process. I really enjoyed the author’s writing style and how she chose to portray each character. Since reading the novel, I have learned the lifestyle and daily routine of a traveling immigrant. However, if you are against strong language, violence, death, and minor sexual content, We Are Not From Here is not the book for you. In my opinion, violence and strong language were suitable for the situations in which they were used. On the other hand, if you enjoy eye-opening novels, describing journeys, adventure, suspense, action, and the opportunity to understand what everyday people go through, then We Are Not From Here is the book for you. As my class read on, I could tell that we were beginning to understand and grasp the concept of immigration and its heartbreaking challenges and consequences.
I would rate this novel a 4 out of 5 simply because at the end of the novel the plot seems to repeat itself and it begins to burn out. Because of the violence and language, I would recommend this book for 14 and up. And to Jenny Torres Sanchez, thank you for helping my class and me understand the physical, mental, and emotional pain and exhaustion that immigrants go through each and every day to get to our incredible country. As one of the main characters, Pequeña, explains, “We are small people, with small names, meant to live small lives. That’s all we’re allowed to live.”

Important Story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 17, 2022

For those who read American Dirt, this is a much better option. Told from the point of view of three teens as they tried to make their way into the United States from Central America. I found myself stopping to Google various aspects of this books very accurate details and was shocked at how much I don't know or understand about those who try to reach US soil.

Should be required reading

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2021

This book is so much more important than some of the classics that high schoolers waste their time reading. Instead of “Lord of the Flies” or “A Separate Peace” or books like those, this should be required reading. It is such an important book, because we who were lucky enough to be born in the US have NO idea that this is how so many kids live and die. It broke my heart, and opened my eyes at the same time.

MOVING BOOK!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2021

Ms. Sanchez put humanity back into the discussion regarding immigrants at our border. These are children, brave children fighting for their lives. They are our fellow passengers on this planet. If you want to know them, reading this book is an excellent place to start. My daughter recommended it to me and I'm so glad I read it!
