Book Description
Cuando todo se ha experimentado y no se ha encontrado un sentido hacia el cual orientar la propia vida se concluye que la sociedad es "un asco" y que puede haber un camino de evasión en el alcohol o en la droga. Es lo que piensan muchos de nuestros jóvenes que viven en la desesperanza, y que terminan inmersos en un mundo de autodestrucción y de muerte. Ciriaco Izquierdo, quien se ha desempeñado como capellán de un centro penitenciario para jóvenes y gran conocedor de la pedagogía juvenil, ofrece este libro como un instrumento imprescindible para cuantos, de una u otra forma, se interesan por el drama de la juventud presa de la drogadicción. El tono directo del autor, su pasión por rescatar a la juventud de una realidad cruda y sin sentido, su lenguaje cercano y directo, y la claridad meridiana de sus planteamientos hacen de estas páginas un valioso aporte a la juventud del siglo XXI.

Book Description
PURA BELPRÉ HONOR BOOK ALA NOTABLE BOOK “An important, must-have addition to the growing body of literature with immigrant themes.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Twelve-year-old Jaime makes the treacherous and life-changing journey from his home in Guatemala to live with his older brother in the United States in this “powerful and timely” (Booklist, starred review) middle grade novel. Jaime is sitting on his bed drawing when he hears a scream. Instantly, he knows: Miguel, his cousin and best friend, is dead. Everyone in Jaime’s small town in Guatemala knows someone who has been killed by the Alphas, a powerful gang that’s known for violence and drug trafficking. Anyone who refuses to work for them is hurt or killed—like Miguel. With Miguel gone, Jaime fears that he is next. There’s only one choice: accompanied by his cousin Ángela, Jaime must flee his home to live with his older brother in New Mexico. Inspired by true events, The Only Road is an individual story of a boy who feels that leaving his home and risking everything is his only chance for a better life. The story is “told with heartbreaking honesty,” Booklist raved, and “will bring readers face to face with the harsh realities immigrants go through in the hope of finding a better, safer life, and it will likely cause them to reflect on what it means to be human.”
