About the Author Ann Jaramillo is the author of the young adult novel La Linea. She teaches English as a Second Language to Mexican-American seventh and eighth graders in Salinas, California. Over a decade since its publication, Ann Jaramillos heartbreaking middle grade novel La Linea about crossing the Mexican border into the US is more timely than ever.Miguel has dreamed of joining his parents in California since the day they left him behind in Mexico six years, eleven months, and twelve days ago. On the morning of his fifteenth birthday, Miguels wait is over. Or so he thinks. The trip north to the border la linea is fraught with dangers. Thieves. Border guards. And a grueling, two-day trek across the desert. It would be hard enough to survive alone. But its almost impossible with his tagalong sister in tow.Their money gone and their hopes nearly dashed, Miguel and his sister have no choice but to hop the infamous mata gente as it races toward the border. As they cling to the roof of the speeding train, they hold onto each other, and to their dreams. But they quickly learn that you cant always count on dreams even the ones that come true. Review “A gripping contemporary survival adventure, this spare first novel is also a heart-wrenching family story of courage, betrayal, and love.” Booklist, Starred Review“Jaramillos first novel is convincing and effective.” The Horn Book Magazine“A nail-biting real-life adventure.” Kirkus Reviews“This well-written account of the perils of illegal border crossing would make a worthwhile read for students studying history, geography, or cultures and is a solid recommendation for both school and public libraries.” Voices of Youth Advocates“The author creates a mood of desperation and anxiety as the story unfolds and Miguel and Elena discover that crossing la linea will forever change the way they look at themselves and the world.” School Library Journal
