After witnessing an act of unspeakable violence, Pulga, Chico, and Pequeña make the difficult choice to abandon their Guatemalan hometown and head for refuge in the United States. To reach their destination, the three teens must cross through Mexico following the route of La Bestia, an infamous system of trains fraught with threats of murder, kidnapping, hunger, and other dangers. Inspired by real events, We Are Not from Here tackles themes of survival, freedom, and humanitarianism. Scenes of graphic violence and sexual assault make this book better suited for older readers.
