Lupita Manana

Lupita Manana by Patricia Beatty

Teenagers Lupita and Salvador sneak over the Mexican border into the U.S. heading for a "rich" aunt in California - who turns out to be as poor as they are. Now they are illegal immigrants, forced to dodge immigration officials every day.

Following their father's death, Lupita and her brother must leave their Mexican fishing village for the U.S. to earn income for the family. Ages 12-up. (May) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
