(4) YA After their families are murdered by narcos, four Mexican teens must decide whether to stay in their small town and die at the hands of the drug cartel or make the grueling and uncertain journey across Sonoran Desert into the U.S. Debut author Schafer approaches the topic of illegal immigration with empathy and respect (and a somewhat heavy hand) in this accessible survival story.
